I don't think there should be two rounds ANYWHERE.

Give another Stadium the chance to bring in new fans.

Since there are 5 in California I think we can afford to shift one of those back to Atlanta.

I agree there shouldn't be two anywhere. But if they are going to have two in Atlanta, count me in.

Agreed Iceman, and just like Dr Fletcher, if they are gonna do it, I think Atlanta is the smartest choice. I am not sure other stadiums are centrally located as well as Atlanta to pull the crowds from as many States.

With the emptiness of seats I've been seeing in the A2 and A3 broadcasts, a 2nd Atlanta would be a common sense move. I think the triple dose of Anaheims loses its flavor it seems like.

But of course, me being from the Northeast, I'd want another round up in this area. Philly, Baltimore, DC preferred!

This gives you an idea of the stops. Any ideas where another round could be used in place of an Anaheim? an+Diego,+CA+to:Arlington,+TX+to:Atlanta,+GA+to:Indianapolis,+IN+to:Daytona+Beach,+FL+to:Detroit,+MI+to:Toronto,+ON,+Canada+toDizzy t.+Louis,+MO+to:Houston,+TX+toDizzy eattle,+WA+to:East+Rutherford,+NJ+to:Las+Vegas,+NV&hl=en&ll=39.232253,-99.052734&spn=23.024784,53.569336&sll=38.444985,-98.217773&sspn=23.273975,53.569336&geocode=FR1JBAIdeMT4-Cln6FWA-dbcgDFgsSuaq4mrAQ%3BFblh_gEdy-JR-SnLeaFQ7RIrhzGsG0o1-MdpjA%3BFR1JBAIdeMT4-Cln6FWA-dbcgDFgsSuaq4mrAQ%3BFUzZQAIddkq2-CkD7aooi32FgDFnk3U11RW0cQ%3BFR1JBAIdeMT4-Cln6FWA-dbcgDFgsSuaq4mrAQ%3BFUEy8wEdeVIE-SlLHpKtD1PZgDF53xX9_SE6DQ%3BFceB8wEdnj82-inTmAjk0mJOhjFRU6AfrPZeCw%3BFQP4AgIdclf4-imNCZNpXQT1iDELYwuZL97-Zg%3BFVPRXgIdDFXd-ikDanmn_1BriDF86rlA9p2O1g%3BFb-4vQEdj7Ar-ymDVgIllNvmiDHrKssdtztqNg%3BFSPthQIdhtIM-yl1HcsQAcokiDHSxLk1ToZ2Vw%3BFWoYmgIdcLVE-ymlO8bXkMvUiTF3xLQqUFU1Mg%3BFbpmTQIdlKqf-in5ju36qbTYhzFb4Lsiyuo5vg%3BFcEaxgEdUsdQ-ikBhY1ItLhAhjE7BWXz3gINyg%3BFcJp1gIdWVy1-ClVM-iTLBCQVDGa1URpRmUlEA%3BFcUTbwIdQl6V-ymbtK4eCFLCiTGdI6UyO7R0hw%3BFdYQJwIdMJoi-SnRffWkgre-gDGjebPV5tXMOg&oq=las&mra=ls&t=m&z=5">Google Map Not sure how SX interferes with other schedules, but the logistics are way screwed up. A, C, and E are all Anaheim. Then you have Atlanta, north to Indy, then right back by ATL south to Daytona, then back north to Detroit. Then later, Houston all the way to Seattle, then across the country to NJ, then back across the country to Las Vegas.

Why not? Yeah, I think we should try to get new fans involved and I hope NJ works this year but if the fans don't show then I say bye bye. Sport won't grow on empty seats. I don't care if all the rounds are at Atlanta if the tickets sell and it's on tv live that's a win-win.

Same question every year.
We ain't giving up any of our Anaheims or other SoCal rounds.

It's a kind of a gamble to adopt that approach though. Having rounds in different stadiums might not fill as many seats as the ones you know are going to sell, like Atlanta.

Then, on the other hand, you have A2 and A3 which struggle to fill seats, even though it's at the heart of the MX/SX world, due to ticket prices. And, probably, not being as hyped as A1.

Agreed. I live in LA and only went to A1. I'm really annoyed by the price increases.

They should consider developing a package to buy the Anaheim races in bulk with a volume discount.

Don't make it so easy for me, a huge fan of the sport, to say "nah, I ain't paying that AND the fees on top". (I do avoid the fees by purchasing at the area Yamaha dealer). I only live 35-40 miles away from the stadium.

I guess their metrics are working for them. My metrics are working for me as I get used to not attending all 3 races and usually just one.

I am sure they will not touch A1,2, or 3 next year... they will actually have to pull one from the East to give Atlanta a second one because we still have to have an even number of West/East rounds for the 250's...

Don't think it's going to happen per JT$. He said they would love to have a second round in Atlanta but the pits in the world congress center are the problem. Apparently that venue is booked up every other weekend for the next 5+ years.
