What if tracks would charge $10 to put down one blanket early? In my opinion this would stop the stadium seats and people marking off the row in front of them. Just an idea.

Ya know, i got into Lawrenceburg stands about 525 and got a top row seat. Didnt have any problem finding a seat about anywhere I wanted at Terre Haute.
But I walked into LPS about 11am to find over half the bleachers marked. Worse still was several on crutches or just old folk with week legs forced to go down to the first couple rows. I helped one up once, MC Rider helped another down. Not sure the answer. I can tell you this, even if they waited till "DAY OF or 3pm. It would have still been covered by 4-5pm

10 bucks for a blanket is a good deal especially if it is a big blanket. If I was a seat hog I'd spend an extra 10 dollars to reserve the row in front of me to stretch out, but I'm not that way. Maybe 30 dollars for a blanket would prevent seat hogging. BTW I don't like stadium seats and I have seen a friend throw them down through the bleachers because it is against track policy (you go girl).

You might be embarrassed to put a blanket in line at tix window but many are not. It’s simple, there is no correct solution so just leave it alone. Support the tracks all year long. I support local tracks at home and the Indiana tracks when I visit.

There are a lot of us on both sides of this issue. I agree with yeley76 that there’s no good solution. I don’t drive as far as some of you but I can understand your frustration. But I reside to the fact that if I don’t get there early I’m going to have limited seating options. I try to plan my race day as getting there early and getting a good seat and some tailgating and hopefully an efficient race program is run and I get out in a timely manner. I don’t hold a grudge against the people who show up early and put down blankets, I wish I could. Funk might be on to something too. Buying tickets online before the race and a half hour early open to those might be reasonable
