Wow! 34,443 views! Almost double the seating capacity of the Bankers Life Fieldhouse!

There might be room for a couple motor homes on each side of the track entrance. Thats premium $$ right there. Should boost the purse a bit.

Is it Indiana Sprint Week yet?

stopped by the field house yesterday and picked up 10 tickets. No extra charges at the box office by the way. The ticket lady said sales have been great so far. Looking at things yesterday, my guess is long straights tight corners. Gonna be fun.

Buying your tickets at the box office is definitely the way to go if you live close enough; not only do you avoid the Ticketmaster fees, you get to pick your seats rather than letting the software do it. FYI, it seems like whoever did the pricing does not realize lower level/front row does not equal prime seating for a race track. I got seats halfway up, almost mid-straightaway for 35 bucks each. Front or back straight I have no idea; when I asked where the start/finish was the lady behind the glass pointed to the middle of the turn at the open end of the chart. When I questioned it she said "Well, that's what they told us"...

S/F being in a turn could add some excitement. And probably some wrecks. I kind of hope S/F will be opposite that of the one in the seating chart. But shouldn't matter.

True, Roy; that's why I went for the $35 seats instead of the $20's; I figure that's roughly equivalent to near the top of the stands at DuQuoin or Ft. Wayne.
