Its the difference in a night at the track with the fam costing 60-70 bucks or 100-150, Most of them buy a few funnel cakes or nachos anyway but that family isn't going to be there EVERY WEEK on the No Carry in policy.
Great American Ball park in Cincy does allow Food and drink brought in (No GLASS)
Whats ironic is go through the front gate, *Can I see inside your jacket?" No carry in food or drink. But buy a pit pass and see every hauler have a line of coolers down the side. Thats not right, I don't care who you are. Friendly to the racers , shake down the fans? What if that crew had to pay a extra 100 bucks a night just to eat and drink?
I go to bloomington and see three times as many KIDS at the track as any other track I've been too. I see a concession line that never lets up, I see people that have gone for years and years and their kids who've now grown up bringing their kids, Some spend more at the track, some don't. THEY ALL BOUGHT A TICKET, They all WILL BE BACK, They all think its a great value for the $$$ Take that 46 dollar show for the family and now make it $150. They may come, They may not! Most arent going to be there EVERY WEEK.
I know I definately find things friendlier and *ACTUALLY SPEND MORE AT A TRACK* when things are deemed by me to be friendly and affordable
I guess the story here is, Support your tracks, AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN AFFORD TOO, Most would want to be able to AFFORD TO AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE
Discussion or not, you would begrudge teams from bringing coolers into the track in their haulers? And what does a major league baseball park have to do with Indiana dirt track racing and their policies concerning coolers? Seems as though you just like to rattle on about nothing. If bringing a cooler involves your decision to go to a race track, its a good thing you don't live out here on the left coast. You would never go to the races!
Excuse me for interrupting this discussion. How did a rumor that Shortbus reported at the start of this thread turn into this MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, back to the ********.
