The stadium has hosted the final of the Swedish Individual Speedway Championship in 1998 and 2003.[5]
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.[6] He put the stadium up for sale in 2017 and again in 2020.[6]
Valsarna have a lease that runs until 2024.[6]
