Looking like not many more people in LA with perfect weather as opposed to Columbus with crap weather!

The stadium is only 27k capacity, about 1/4-1/3rd of the stadium is taped off/covered, so this implies SMX can't even fill 20k seats, given how empty/half-filled the stadium looks.

Looking like about 10-15k... not great.

The freeway most likely backed up to San Diego and most are tailgating smoking some bowls.  Drinking some beer in the cars and saving themselves $40 dollars a beer.

I live 25 mins from the event and attended the LA Coliseum race (which was great). If the Carson track were something interesting we’d go, but it’s not worth the cost/time given the layout is even more watered down than a traditional SX.

These last three rounds are just so meh. Just leave moto and supercross alone. I think everyone including the fans are pretty fatigued by the time we get to these rounds. People are just like mehhhh

I refuse to pay seat pricing for these events, its should be a flat ticket price with assigned seats i wont sit in because half of the section i want to be in is empty. 

I was getting industry seats with all day pit passes at Indy for less than shit seats at the Columbus race. This race is not worth $250 a ticket to see, nothing Feld puts on is.

I looked at tickets since it's close by, but continued on my streak of saying "no" to the prices.  Went on a 40-mile bike ride up the coast instead.  

I used to attend regularly, even A1, 2 and 3 one year, but I've been priced out.

The 4PM start time on a nice beautiful day in California probably doesn't help. A lot of people are still at work as well.

27k is full capacity. They have a ton of seats blocked off. I’m conservatively guessing 20% (probably more) are covered up. Leaving just over 20k available seats. Looks like half the seats are filled. My guess is roughly 10k actually in attendance. They made have sold more tickets than that though.

SoCal mx fans are fickle. If it ain’t top notch, they ain’t showing up.

Hope they get the hint and realize ticket prices have reached the saturation point. Besides A1 this is a blue collar sport, make it affordable to see in person or we will just watch at home with our buddies after a cookout and drinking some cheap beers

I thought about going but this event was more expensive than A1. It should have been at the Coliseum.

Attendance Looked bad on TV, and even worse if you consider Ángel stadium Is only 30 milles away and is always a sold out venue (Even with 2 rounds), San Diego has very good attendance also.

 

Did SX had this low attendance back when they race It at Dodger Stadium? The LA Coliseum finale in 2023 also had low attendance, if you struggle to sell tickets for a Dirt Bike race in the Dirt Bike mecca of the world (SoCal) its a very good sign the SMX Format IS currently a faliure
