So the question is, Did eliminating the open wheel portion of the show help it grow?

For those of you that do not know, they opened up 35,000 seats at the dome in St.L. Every single one of those seats were sold. The wait list for a suite is so long, that they no longer add names to the list. I know this event had a rough start. I know indoors racing is not cheap. I really think the decision that was made not to support the event is coming back to haunt the open wheel world. I have been there the last 2 years. The amount of growth I have seen, is just crazy. Open wheel needs to be involved in some manner. No where else is there 35,000 fans watching short track racing.
