History
The stadium has hosted the final of the Swedish Individual Speedway Championship in 1998 and 2003.
In 2013, Hagfors entrepreneur Kjell Ottosson bought the stadium and adjacent motocross track, following the bankruptcy of the speedway club and rented them out to both the speedway and motocross clubs. He put the stadium up for sale in 2017 and again in 2020.
Valsarna have a lease that runs until 2024.
