I couldn't agree more. They could have said screw it and move to 2021, but they actually stayed in this thing for the sport and I believe it will pay off for them in 2021 in every way. They have battled COVID, crazy weather, and have straight up delivered.

I’ll admit, I was not pumped on 7 rounds in the same stadium. They have done an awesome job changing the track for each round. The actual show (race) has been good considering the major changes to the program. Good job Feld.

Seems you’ve never watched Arenacross.
These have been typical small stadium SX tracks.
What exactly is the complaint? Races to short? Can’t be that.

That's a sentence, but you're not exactly wrong.

I thinks it’s been great, having 7 rounds on the same dirt in the same stadium has been great for the riders too IMO I like how everyone seems to be making th best of it 👍

Yup. Much thanks to Feld and everyone involved to make this happen. I have thoroughly enjoyed what we've seen so far.

i still think its a holeshot fest between the contenders, with few passes and a very easily predicted result after a few laps......the only surprise factor has been the physical condition of roczen, that changes the result table has he is capable of holding the pace or not.....and the best racing was in the mud, cuz it turns down the speed a lot
not even the other factory racers can get in the mix, only Osbourne was close, all others are behind the pace, as if they are letting the challengers race it by themselves !!!!!
even in the 250 class is just all about the title contenders, no one enters the fight, as they are all there just to fill the gate that decides how of "does" will win.
i was hopping to see pressure on the contenders and fight on the others to give the races some excitement, but after a lap or two its all about the contenders in both classes, all the races !!!!!!
i can understand the importance of doing those races, from the business side of it, but i am not surprised of the result of it all, it is just another step for me to get over stadium supercross, as much as i love dirtbikes and its racing, sx is dropping fast on my attention......
i feel bad for the importance given to supercross in usa, america has great racers, outstanding motocross tracks, huge fans and a motocross atmosphere so great that it is sad to me to see it all be 2º tier to these snoozefest races, with all riders doing the same and in the end the same ones being always on top......

I think the riders must be enjoying it too. A month in one spot, a bunch of things to do with family. I imagine the mtn bike trails are packed with industry people and riders.

I don’t see how feld can do anything about the depth and speed of the field. There has been enough variety in the tracks, we are watching the cream rise to the top.

Right.. Same thing happens outdoors and it’s even amplified. You can’t say SX isn’t exciting entertainment and be serious. A1 and the weeks leading up, there’s nothing in the sport like it. New riders, new rides and they’re all on the line. (Edit: besides MXON)

I agree with this too, weather would have been less of a factor as well. But I certainly won’t complain because it was our governors fault for not getting that deal done. Feld has done a fantastic job given the circumstances. Great work!

SLC is a pretty awesome area. I was fortunate to visit there recently, did some hiking at Arches and fly-fisshing on the Provo. It's awesome to get away, but my allergies can go to hell! Haha
