Finally the official AX schedule is out, seemingly well abbreviated from previous years - and starting in January in
Taxachusetts.... Anyway, here's the key line that has the entire AX world chatty - and folks are wondering if the changes
are to rev up a dying series - or to test out some potential future rule /format changes for Supercross ?
"Jendro went on to say,” In the near future, a series of major announcements about the format and structure of AMSOIL Arenacross will be made that will significantly impact the sport.”
Below is the 2013 AMSOIL Arenacross schedule:
Date Venue City
Jan. 4-6 DCU Center Worcester, Mass.
Jan. 11-13 1st Mariner Arena Baltimore, Md.
Jan. 18-20 Van Andel Arena Grand Rapids, Mich.
Jan. 26-27 BOK Center Tulsa, Okla.
Feb. 1-3 Cedar Park Center Cedar Park, Texas
Feb. 8-10 Mohegan Sun Arena Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
Feb. 16-17 Verizon Arena Little Rock, Ark.
Feb. 23-24 INTRUST Bank Arena Wichita, Kan.
Mar. 2-3 Sprint Center Kansas City, Mo.
Mar. 15-17 Denver Coliseum Denver, Colo.

The proposed "new" format, as explained to me, is a rather radical departure from AX as normal - and
took a WHOLE lot of explaining, and I was still a mite perplexed and bamboozled...
I'm bummed our OHIO rounds are gone, hell DAYTON sold out every year and the joint was a rockin''....
Seems kinda odd, too, with the majority of the top-ten most years - being BUCKEYES - that we not host a
single round ?
In these luggy and farty times, any series that's not some lame version of it's former self would be very exciting, and provide a great alternative to both FooperCross and Mowercross.

took a while to explain and understand it.
i guess it's in stone for this season, just not released to the public yet.
most of the riders know.
What genius thought of this crap?
They trying to show poor attendance for AX the first time in the "new" Sprint Center?
It ain't rocket science, folks!
After my family skipped the DM to attend STL SX two years ago, I am getting madder and madder....
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Those of us that aren't in the inner circle are curious.

I can't believe no Des Moines on an Arenacross schedule. That's just wrong.
RUMOR is that " this is a last chance for the Arenacross series to get in the black..."
The schedule and its omitting of seemingly thriving and lucrative locales - is dumbfounding - fo sho.
Regardless I bet they both would be up to the task.... Grand Rapids here I come!!
to the others asking about the new rules and changes; seeing that they released the schedule last week, I'm sure they will release the rule/program changes this week. It's quite detailed and different and I wouldn't want to say some incorrect things about it as it was only explained to me once.

As a fan , liked the Fall,,, ie,, nov thru jan schedule better, went to the AX in Nashville, Tn 3-4 times, was always awesome racing, now i live in Georgia and the closest one is in Little Rock Ark. 500 miles away, so no AX for me,, SX and MX for 13'....
yah im doing the series again. buying a ktm on tuesday and heading down south to GPF beg of nov until the season starts will you be at any of them?.
I also liked it better when it started in the fall, gives a little something during the break from MX to SX otherwise AX gets WAY over shadowed for our first round when we are going up against A1. plus when it starts in the fall gives AX guys the option to jump into east sx.
