Attendance!!!

Rn stands very empty, racing starts n 5 minutes.. thought the new kid was bringing billions of new fans and record attendances w him???? 🤣

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. 

Maybe 80 percent full during 250 main.... so... 15k attendance'ish??? 

From what I saw yesterday someone on vitalmx asking for $ 250 a ticket yea know. 

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

lol, Steve laughing about the Ohio race being sold out because it only seats 20k and now this stadium that can hold more can’t even reach that number 

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.

250$ a ticket, food, drinks 753$ a gallon i mean what u think?

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. 

Not interested. I went riding today.

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.

Let’s not forget that gas is back to 6+ dollars a gallon here in Taxifornia

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

They say there is mas exodus going on in CA but didnt think it was that bad. 

I think the SMX is a waste, it should go back to a one off race. Each year it should be at different locations and if they want a hybrid track then a place like Pala or even WW Ranch as the ability to build a hybrid track. 

Smx is fine, the tracks have to be good that’s all I think.

Setup a freestyle ramp in a walmart parking lot…riders jump through a ring of fire….coors lite beer tent …free monster drinks….tattoo & nose ring booths……..sellout every time……dam I should get into the promotion side of things…to the dude that went riding….that was correct answer 👍

More to Mav's point, unless it's a super unique event like the Coliseum, daytime events in LA are almost always hit or miss, mostly miss. 

This is what happens when you put out scshitty product. The racers can only make up for so much and the track, the venue the entirety of s grandiose gimmick. If you want SMX do something unique.  It the and ole same ole bs. 

Superdupermotocross specifically at a MLS arena at a hefty premium in the middle of a Satruday day in So Cal that is a glorified AX can't compete with the Dodgers or really even the Angels, and well even the weather... hell ucla probably was more of a draw. Us Southern Californias are a fickle bunch unless it's a premium product and also, we are scared of traffic. I should give the MO track a chance but go back to speedways and end it in Vegas!

Pricing is out of control. Tickets, food/drinks, parking..

Like others said, I used to go to A1, A2 or 3, SD and Vegas some years, at least 2 of those every year, since the bikes were air cooled. Still love the racing, I’ve got the funds, but just can’t justify the cost. Went to SD this year, had a great time, but the cost..

I guess they make more selling 20k seats at $250 than they would selling 27k at $100? 

Hopefully the money grubbing Feld made enough advertising money off the giant Bass Pro Shop tarp covering the seats to make up for those seats not being sold to spectators.

My apologies, when I refer to "something unique" I am thinking of tracks like 08 A2, 09 STL, etc.
