I think this is exactly what they are trying to do at L-burg but then they get blasted for an increase at the front gate and people saying they do not want the "production" they only want the races.

But I agree when competing for the tough entertainment dollar you need to entertain the people in the stands completly for 3 hours then send them home with a smile on their face
