You may be right Joe, but I am more concerned it will be over for the performers rather than the audience. Of course, when we start seeing only 10 or so well heeled teams show up, we'll probably stop going. How much more does it cost us to roundtrip to Haubstadt now than it did last year? $10 or $15? When that stops me from going, I will have quit everything else. It sure won't make me stay at home and read about it on my computer when I could be there. I would be there tonight if not for my wife's HS class reunion. I don't think the track is going to make any money on this deal if that's their motive. They'll probably lose some in goodwill. :thumbsdown: BTW, thanks for the updates!!!
