What do you think?
I remember the mgm for the us open being much more epic, I’m still excited for monster cup don’t get me wrong. Having been to both events I’m voting for MGM

Was the mgm more epic?

The MGM is way too small for 450s.

Prefer where it’s held now as my favorite section is the WOT to outside the stadium!

So do i, 250s, either 2 or 4st, for pros.

If et3, kr94, and mm25 want to go for a million let them do it up against the young guns on even equipment.

Oh, and schedule it sometime in the first 2 weeks of december.

That gives riders a break, eliminates MEC as an excuse for skipping mxon, and it would be an awesome warm up race a couple weeks before a1.

Would FELD run a monster truck event in there? Seems like most of the venues for bikes on FELD's schedule, have a truck event the week prior or a week later including MEC.

I went to many of the MGM events and a few Sam Boyd events,I enjoyed the atmosphere of the MGM ones more.Was a just more fun,Boyd seems like a regular SX in a lousy stadium,racing may have been better at Boyd but the MGM had way more "Vegas" going for it,plus I won $90 bucks betting on Emig one year.Was also the first place I had ever seen Bubba,was on a 80 or was it an 85,was fun to watch.

Why should it be Vegas? Couldn't it be a more "holiday-kind" of scenery for fans and riders, I'm thinking out loud now. But you've Hawaii but that is probably to expensive, but going to Chicago, Annapolis, New York for a Arenacross type of event, should open up a new crowd not?

I loved MGM too, but if it ever went back to an arena, it would be the T-Mobile arena.
But I’m sure it will be at Raiders stadium before that.

Been to the old school MGM US open of supercross and also the current version Sam Boyd monster cup... not even same league when come to the cool factor. To this day the most exciting and fun pro event I’ve been too was the MGM grand US Open. Action packed racing on the tight track. And the bonus of having it there was after the race everyone just poured into MGM lobby and casino floor and partied. Was a total moto takeover of that place after the race each night. Good times!!

And it was too small then. Imagine it on modern 450s. It’s a cool idea but ultimately there’s just not enough floor space IMO. A football field is becoming too small for a SX track.

Going to be tough to find a free weekend with both the Raiders and UNLV using that as their home field...the fact that it hasn't been announced is very telling...

This place iseens kinda dead for spectator turmout.
I think with Vegas having more high profile events regularly, this event is kind of an afterthought.

Last year seemed like more people.
