Little 500?

Debating a trip to the Little 500 on Saturday. weather looks good at the moment. I've never been. How high up should one be to avoid infield obstructions? Appears there isn't a bad seat there from what I've seen, but sometimes the bottom rows are a bit obstructed. Thx!

You got tickets? It usually sells out by 2-3 in the afternoon. That doesn't mean there won't be people outside selling tickets of some who couldn't make it. Seats are slim except bottom couple rows.

It's a must see at some point race. Head to the Restroom about 20 min before. get your drink and munchies and get ready for about 2.5hrs of non stop racing.

The track you can see from anywhere around it even bottom rows. Nothing sticking up to block view.

I've sat in about every section at Anderson. Love the backstretch, Section O! Wall seems to be lower and the cars coming off turn 2 look like they're coming right at you. AND, all the pit stops are right in front of you. Backstretch rocks!

agree on backstretch but a MUST is ear plugs!!!!!

Rained off and on all day at Anderson. On practice at all. New schedule for Thursday:
Practice (extended) 11:30-2:45
Qualifying 3:00-5:00
I believe grandstand admission is free on Thursday

Oops meant no practice at all!

There are very few bad seats. That said, there are a few more NASCAR people in attendance every year. By that I mean the number of people who stand inappropriately grows larger every. At least in section B on the front stretch that is the case. Can't speak for other areas but where we're at be prepared to put up with it or for combat.

Tell them to sit down that’s what we do

I rarely, if ever, see people standing at the Little 500. I've never had to tell anyone to sit down. Not sure how you can prove more NASCAR fans are going. More RACE FANS are going.
