Labor Day is the 7th next year so it’ll still be during the holiday weekend.

The NFL usually starts the week after Labor Day which falls on the 7th next year. Though I'm not sure how the NFL would do it with it falling about the latest it can on the calender.

Every five or six years the calendar falls so that the first full Sunday slate is the 13th. 2020, 2015, 2009, and so on.

Tempted to give Arlington a shot since they don’t race at TMS anymore. Just that between parking and Not knowing where to go or watch from, I worry that it’d be too stressful for me to handle since I’ve never been to a RC or street race before.
Best races at TMS were Indy.

Todd Ault, who I think is still actively being sued by ECR over nonpayment of sponsorship money for the 2024 season, is linking up with DCR.

If you’re comfortable walking around and being on your feet for long periods of time, they look to have a good amount of GA viewing areas.

So what’s the deal? Like if we buy GA, we roam around and can view from the GA areas only, possibly which is standing room only. Or we can buy grandstand tickets and roam around and view from both the grandstand and the GA areas? Are grandstand tickets the same as they are for ovals in that you are assigned a specific seat? Or if we purchase a grandstand ticket, would we be able to utilize both the grandstands at turn 6 and the grandstands at turn 10?
Grandstand seats are usually like they are for ovals - you get a specific seat in a specific grandstand, not access to any grandstand seat. It also lets you roam the GA areas. GA lets you into only the GA areas and you can roam between them.
To be sure, call the ticket office.

This sounded laughably dumb at first, but where there’s smoke there’s usually fire. Can’t say I’d be a fan of this move.

Makes sense, I just figured NFL always starts the season on the first weekend of September
I recall it used to but either that was several years ago or I'm misremembering again.

Labor Day weekend is historically the kickoff weekend for college football with the NFL following immediately after. This year has technically the earliest date the NFL season can start, next year will be the complete opposite end of the spectrum.
Yep and I was reading a thing that they can't play on the Friday like they are tonight next year because there is literally a federal law saying they can't.
Huh? Source, please.

Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961. Same law is why the NFL doesn’t play Saturday games until the college regular season is over with.
Huh. I learned something new today.
