100% this. As good of a job Flo does (and others in the streaming game) of working to make things great, they still cannot re-create the sights, sounds, smells, and feeling you get sitting in the stands taking it all in. If at all possible, I go. I will use broadcasts if I am at a track to catch something I miss or to see if I saw what I thought I saw or so I do not miss anything on a concession run or something of that nature.

A well-run facility and show will always be superior to streaming. 100% of the time. That is not a knock on streaming. That is the truth of a near 30 year race fan of pretty much anything that goes fast.
