1). Ticket Prices in some areas have gone through the roof. (Anaheim being one) and in the last few years as everything else has gone up and up people finally are saying that's it.
2). Killer TV package. So with us og fans now in our late 40's early 50's we prefer our 60" LCD and the leather couch over loud mouth drunk idiots spilling beer on our backs and asking why RC isn't out there.
3). No RV and no JS does have an impact. How much? Who knows. But you just can't remove a sport top two riders and think it won't. It does.
4). The weather back east has been a bit of an issue there. So if ticket prices have not gone up like they have here I can see the weather playing a part specially where the TV is airing the race live.
That number 50,000 includes scalper purchases. So it is not accurate in regards to how many tickets were sold to the attending public. But I bet some of those scalpers had killer seats!
How many people in attendance do you guys think are "hardcore fans"?
Yes they do have something to do with it. How much? We will never know.
Personally, I'd have been more likely to attend this year without Stewart and Villopoto, as it seemed like racing would have been better, and so far it mostly has been. But my tivo and couch let me watch without commercials, downtime, expensive parking, drunk flatbill bros, or Lurch screaming.
I do wonder though if in the two races at Atlanta, if there were as many at all 3 Anaheim races combined? I heard attendance at Anaheim was averaging 23,000 per race?
Its a down year for attendance in my opinion and people can blame it on what they want to, but I still stick to the crappy weather at least for Atlanta attendance. I dont care if you are from the north and can drive a dragster down Pikes Peak covered in ice, people around here aren't willing to take the risk to travel a long distance when the roads are dangerous. People post pictures saying "this is as bad as it got" here...but really, thats more than enough to cause a 100 car pile up, not here in Georgia this year, but could have last year and definitely could have done that in any state north of here this year. Why risk life and limb for something they could watch on TV from the decent warmth of their home?
The deal is, it will be made back up next year if they decide to do two Atlanta races again...but I have said it before and will say it again, they need to do it around February 26th, like normal or whatever that last weekend in February falls on and THEN run Atlanta again before the races head back out west, later in the season. Hell id prefer Atlanta the first race and second to the last race but that will never happen.
I do think however, had RV and JS been racing, it would have made a difference though I am not sure how much, again based on the weather alone.
Better yet, when they get the new stadium built do the first one there and then go throw some dirt on homeplate at the new Braves stadium for the second race when it opens!
Pit Row
and then Feld loses enough money and sells it off to someone who turns it into Nuclear Cowboys... oh wait, that's already Feld...so all they have to do is see a loss...
Woo hoo!! if you aren't "core" stay home!! don't buy tickets!!
Great idea. Now I'll bet tomorrow you're talking about ways to "cultivate and grow the sport". Hahaha
For the good of the sport I want everyone to attend for whatever reason they want to, even if they are only a fan of RV, JS, Dungey, Reed or any other rider. Providing they are not acting like douche bags.
