Twelve sports venues were used in the 1912 Summer Olympics. This marked the first time that more than one venue would be used for the football tournament, which has been the case ever since.{{citation needed|date=August 2016}} Stockholm Olympic Stadium served as one of the [[Equestrian at the 1956 Summer Olympics|equestrian venues]] for the [[1956 Summer Olympics]]. [[Råsunda Stadium]] served as a venue for the [[1958 FIFA World Cup]] and the [[1995 FIFA Women's World Cup]]. In the initial bid document it was identified that a new stadium would be needed, initially envisaged as being located in the [[Östermalm Athletic Grounds]]. In order to save funds, it was expected that only one of the stadium's stands would be permanent, with the other three made of wood and dismantled following the Games. The cost of that stadium was estimated at 235,000 Kronor.<ref name=off8 /> Arrangements were made with the individual national committees to provide the use of [[Östermalm Athletic Grounds]] and [[Traneberg]].<ref name="off41">[[#official|Official Report (1913)]]: p. 41.</ref>

The cycling road race was held around [[Mälaren]], the third largest lake in Sweden.<ref name="off63">[[#official|Official Report (1913)]]: p. 63.</ref> The water events, including the swimming and the rowing, were held at [[Djurgårdsbrunnsviken]], where a stadium was built. [[Kaknäs]] was already used as a shooting range, but alterations were needed to accommodate shooting events. Although it was not used as the Olympic stadium as originally intended, Östermalm hosted the lawn tennis and fencing competitions after a tennis pavilion was moved there from another location.<ref name="off167">[[#official|Official Report (1913)]]: p. 167.</ref>

Five other locations were considered in addition to the Östermalm Athletic Grounds to locate the Olympic Stadium. The [[Stockholm Olympic Stadium]] was built on the site of the former Stockholm Athletic Grounds in order to retain the other locations for other uses during the Games. By placing it to the north of the city, the Olympic Stadium was within the immediate vicinity of other pre-existing sporting venues. Initial funding was given to the sum of 400,000 Kr for a timber stadium but [[Torben Grut]],<ref name="off168">[[#official|Official Report (1913)]]: p. 168.</ref> the architect, also drew up alternative plans for a stone stadium. Following discussions with the Swedish Central Association for the Application of Athletics, it was decided that the stone version should be built, and further funds were made available through a national lottery once guarantees were made that no further funding was to be asked for in order to build the stadium.<ref name="off169">[[#official|Official Report (1913)]]: p. 169.</ref> However it was found that the original estimate for the stone stadium would still be too expensive, and the plans were once more modified in order to simplify the design and reduce costs. An agreement was entered into with a contractor on 2 November 1910 that it would be transferred complete by 25 May 1912.<ref name="off171">[[#official|Official Report (1913)]]: p. 171.</ref>
