This is the answer without a doubt. If promoters could make money at an oval they would go there. The promoters of the past would book these tracks with visions of the attendance being at near sell out levels like the 500. Instead of near 100% attendance, they are lucky to get 20% attendance and they lose money. When promoters lose money year over year, they no longer book the events.
