Would be more interesting to see what the attendance of fans was back then vs now. Cept for Sprint week and a few others
I noticed packed grandstands in all the old photos, vids.
And while there is still some interaction. You also had Indy stars running All the Champ car and many of the sprint and midget USAC shows.
Meaning, if the attendance was today, What it was back then. Much larger purses could be offered without the ever looming threat of a huge loss.
