A sports clash is occurring in Värmland, with Färjestad BK playing its sixth quarterfinal in the SM playoffs while Färjestadstravet holds one of its biggest racing days of the year. Both events are taking place on Good Friday in a limited area in Färjestad, Karlstad. The hockey match is sold out with 8,250 spectators expected, and 3,000-4,000 spectators are anticipated for the horse racing.
With two large events adjacent to each other, parking spaces in Färjestad risk being insufficient. Karlstad Parkerings AB does not expect major parking chaos in residential areas like Färjestad and Råtorp, where many park and walk over the bridge to Färjestad. The agency will have normal monitoring as usual during events.
Fines for parking in terrain, such as grass areas, are 1,000 kronor.
