Glendale Attendees

Who in fucks sake is downvoting all of the same Complaints we are experiencing. It’s 245 here in az and I feel like I was hit by a Mack truck.  

They're downvoting because the situation sucks, not because they disagree with the folks complaining.

I came here looking for this very thread. We stayed for the duration and all have the same symptoms. I had a hard time breathing last night and my wife had a massive headache. I feel like I actually have a cold right now and my eyes are awful. Congested. Lungs feel full. Bummer deal. Was a great day otherwise but towards the end we were all fairly nauseous too. And I don’t even drink!! 

Dust won't do this. New people running the facility last night? No experience with a SX event? Or did something break and they won't talk about it? Sad. Our motoworld.

1. the race is usually in January not April.

2. It is spring in AZ after a lot of rain and the desert is one giant flower right now exploding with pollen. The wild flowers were insane along the 95 coming down from vegas, orange poppies, yellow brittle bush, globe mallows, purple Lupines, native grasses… all highly allergenic! 

3. I grew up in AZ since the 80s and never really had a problem with allergies but now that I live out of of state i always get symptoms this time of year. the symptoms we were all feeling are classic spring allergies and both my son and I were feeling it last night at the stadium and this morning we were still pretty bad. We left the hotel at 1000 and after about an hour I had the recirculating air going in my truck and our stuffy sinuses and horse throats started to clear up almost immediately. I am home in vegas now and we both feel totally fine now! 

4:36 the next day and I still look like I'm high as hell. 

My eyes and throat have burned all day. I've been to dozens is supercross races, never experienced anything like this. 

We had 6 in out group 3 of them are young kids. All of us have sore/swollen bloodshot eyes, our chest hurts and are all stuffed up. 

I bet it was the dust. Pollen and stuff. 

Me being from pollen central in north Texas, I didn't notice. 

I'm not going to say what the problem was, but I wasn't affected. 

I  was there from about 1:30.

What section?  we were sec 135 lower.

That track stayed dry and dusty.

Who me? 327 club.

But we spent all afternoon everywhere. 

It was nice to finally meet you Bobby! After more than 20 years of arguing. Hahaha!

I was 130 row 10, got permanent stoner eyes all day. Lol. 

Chinese fireworks, fuggen commies. Prolly contaminated covid laced with fireworks

You too seemefirst. I arrived a little too late. Bummer... Next year. 

Ghina!

Right on, brother. 

Loads of the people in our party loft had the same symptoms.   Yes, it's allergy season here,  but this is most definitely more than that.   IMO, they should have opened the damned roof further. 

I also had the same symptoms, I woke up at 3am with a complete plugged up nose and my eyes felt like they had sand in them. My eyes were watering so bad I could barely open them and I could not look at anything bright for several hours. BRUTAL! 

Uh, yeah, so…uh…what’s the Pollen Index like for Phoenix-Glendale?

Also, my sinuses & eyes take the same hit in the spring (and sometimes in the fall) when I’m at Luke, AFB…so, uh, yeah…

Yeah our group of 3 got the symptoms.  Mouth breathing while sleeping all night.  These guys are right about the spring allergies, but I live here full time and suffer allergies.  The allergies probably interacted/exacerbated this, but this had its own thing going on also.  Ironically, we all commented that the race gas fumes did not seem as strong this year.  Maybe that's because our noses were so plugged we couldn't smell!

Also, moving the race from Jan to Apr... it is the dry season here.  If you are from somewhere with normal humidity, less than 10% here will screw your eyes and nose right up.

I maybe just too dumb to realize it after all the shit I have put my sinuses and lungs through. 

Decades of fiberglass work, chasing cows and dirt bikes.

Hell, I don't know. Maybe how I felt this morning was bad, and I just can't tell anymore. 

I don’t know how there isn’t industrial hygiene air tests when 20 ICE bikes are mostly on over 3 hours, not including practice. I would bet the air monitoring at most is CO2 and O2 in the vent system. They need to sample in the stands and stadium floor. 

I'm rewatching the race right now and the air in the stadium looks hazy af. I don't know why they didn't just have the stadium roof all the way open. 

Wake up. Shower. Head downstairs for “Hotel Coffee & Breakfast”. 

Get in the car…get home around 2:30.

Steal Ella’s Super 73 & hit the trail…and …guess what? I feel a helluva lot better! 

Also, hydration and “recovery fluids” are paramount …

 Murica! 

If this was related as you suggest the locals would have had symptoms before the day of the race. This issue is consistent with improper ventilation and contaminated air. Feld needs to get their shit together before kids end up hospitalized.

Let you in on a little secret? My eyes were fucked out in the “grass pit area” BEFORE I went inside…

But, hey, you go get OSHA & get right on this, ok? 

Went and had lunch at the Renaissance (hadn’t been in the stadium yet; but, I’d been in “the pits” for about 2 hours) and I could feel my eyes burning while sitting inside the hotel just like they do when I came out to Luke this time of year. 

Note: after a good glass of ‘42, my eyes felt a little better and everyone at the bar looked better, too. 

I’ve lived in Tucson for 13 years. Whatever was causing people issues yesterday at the stadium was most certainly not seasonal allergies. 

Agreed.  I live in buckeye and are party of 10 all end up with the same symptoms. My eyes are still red and burning. 

This is exactly how I felt after the Minneapolis Supercross last year. US Bank sent me a report that the CO levels are in compliance. It wasn’t allergies either as it was late winter in MN.
