Why cant they go back to the Olympic Stadium in Stockholm. Better size than the Friends arena which is just too big. The GP I went to in 2004 was outstanding

It's not possible.

The Olympic stadium had it's athletics tracks refurbished in 2011-2012 and it is no longer allowed to cover the tracks with gravel/dirt. I don't remember
the exact reason/phrasing but it was something like that.

Pretty sure you have suggested the Tele 2 arena also in Stockholm as an alternative to the Friends arena in the past https://www.tele2arena.se/

Thats a real shame. Although like all these things if it was the right money I bet they would put some shale over that running track!

 

Wikipedia says: It is decided that Tele2 Arena will be the national stadium of Swedish speedway and american football.[8]

ALSO, it doesn't have a roof.

Ullevi also closed for speedway after running track was redone. Then after some years they had Monster trucks there. Go figure.

I wrote a longer reply 1-2 years ago as to why I don't think Eskilstuna would be a good arena for a GP,  can't find it now though.
Basically not the greatest race track, very limited parking facilities, only one (narrow) access road, probably wouldn't attract substantial enough spectators
(despite have a very good locations geographically) in the same as the previous GP:s there. They also don't have track covers.

Isn't it still a better alternative to Rospiggarna? I bet crowd and racing would be better.

Meh. I don't know, probably wouldn't be a big difference regarding crowd size and racing quality.Previous GP:s att Eskilstuna wasn't that
attractive from a spectator point of view, didn't really attract any larger crowds.

So there's a gap for a month between Prague and Cardiff. Sounds good so far...
