To handle the spectators that would show up for a supercross round if both of the Ryans agreed to enter on two strokes.
Yeah, I know, but I can dream.

Both Ryans were on two strokes yesterday and there were plenty of empty seats at a fairgrounds .
On the other hand, so did Denny Stephenson in his insta post about the event.

Easier then trying to read something that long on insta on here I figure
I do believe that if both of them agreed to do one round, and advertised it well in advance, there would be a big surge in attendance for that round.
And no, I do not think that it will happen, sadly.
Let’s be honest, the racing is just better with 2strokes, but there’s more money to be made with four strokes. That’s the bottom line. Everybody knows it, the industry knows it, the shills know it, most fans know it (if they were watching or racing 20 years ago).
Travis looked painfully slow on his 250 at the MXoN compared to the 450s. But on the other hand, I think the current crop of 450s have gotten to the point of being so fast that there's little to no margin for error, as we're about out of reaction time.
And can anyone honestly say , with a straight face , that last night's racing wasn't the best that event has ever had?
Isn't that what everyone wants....close racing? And if it is , and 2 strokes provided it....why brag about how cool 4 stroke's are , all while taking a dig at the 2 strokes?
I really enjoyed last nights RBSR but I still don't see 2 strokes as being much cheaper than 4 strokes.
I am not disputing that racing would be closer and a much better show going back to 2 strokes.
I absolutely agree with everything quoted from the ig post by denny stephenson.
I just doubt that rd and rv showing up on 2 strokes against a 4 stroke mounted field would be the draw that the op thinks it would be.
I certainly hope that after the racing and positive comments that the rbsr is getting that finding an empty seat next year will be much tougher and that future rbsr events are as exceptional as the 2018 event.

250f’s on the other hand (which these days is the comparison) are another matter. Yep, I have a 250f and 250 2stroke.
