Norrköping Motorstadion also called the ICA Maxi Arena (for sponsorship purposes) is a motorcycle speedway track located in the western outskirts of Norrköping.[1] The track is located just off the Lindövägen and is adjacent to the SMK Östgöta MC Kråkvilan complex, which includes motocross and enduro.[2][3]
The stadium hosts the Vargarna speedway team that compete in the Swedish Speedway Team Championship[4] and have been champions of Sweden on six occasions.[5]
History
The stadium held its first meeting on 6 September 1969 and was ready for the 1970 Swedish speedway season.[6]
The stadium hosted the Nordic Speedway Final, which formed part of the World Championship in 1972.[7] Eight more finals were held at the track in 1973, 1976, 1978, 1979, 1981, 1984, 1987 and 1998.[8][9] In addition, it has hosted the Swedish Individual Speedway Championship in 1986 and 1999.[10]
Leading into the 2015 Swedish speedway season the track dimensions were changed with the widening of the bends and the track measurement altering from 279 metres to 271 metres.[11]
