Would you post the info here also? I’m planning on going to ISW race tomorrow night. I haven’t been to Bloomington since the grandstand was rebuilt. Seems I’ve read you can bring lawn chairs like Putnamville. Thanks. 🏁

I thought all of the IOW'ers joined together and decided to ban blankets in the stands forever.

Another solution would be like IMS dirt track and not let people in the pits go to the grandstands without purchasing a grandstand ticket. Nothing more frustrating than prime seats only being used for a single heat race and the main event.

Yes, Lawn Chairs work good on the grassy hill or sidewalk. Bleacher reconstruction went pretty well. Blanket on the grassy hill area also works good. Best tip though, is to arrive early to stake out your position. Concession lines will be long. Coolers welcome without glass. Enjoy!

430 gates open. NO SAVED SPOTS. anyone who did will find their stuff on the hill when they get in.

Thanks for the replies. I’ll carry a seat cushion instead of a lawn chair. The track website shows gates open at 5! I’ll leave my house a little earlier than I planned. 👍🏁
