Apparently grandstand tickets start at around $400. I totally understand that holding a street course race isn't cheap but I wonder if NASCAR is going to attract a whole lot of new fans with these astronomical F1 level ticket prices.
I could say the new incoming administration will welcome Nascar and be just as wrong.
Only 5 candidates received a significant amount of votes and she was much closer to 5th than 1st...pretty much unheard of for an incumbent...she indeed lost by a staggering amount.
From what I have been able to find out, this is a whole lot more than races. I believe it is 4 days long, entertainment for all ages and the city is getting a cut on a lot of things besides the pay to play money.
And two more for the tear-down?
I'd try this in sections at 2:00 am Sunday mornings several weeks in advance, but that's the kind of mindset I have.
I was surprised the current administration went along with this considering how liberal the mayor is and how many liberals oppose anything related to something that consumes a lot of gasoline.
Dammit, I wasn't careful and I wound up learning stuff about Chicago.
At least your read it. Most won't. The last paragraph is pretty awesome.
I also read that there’s a rec softball league that’s been playing summers at Grant Park since the 40’s that’s being told to kick rocks and find somewhere else to play with all of the circuit construction/staging going on. There are ways to pull off street circuits that are aren’t so invasive to the local community, so far the way this is being set up isn’t endearing themselves to locals.
Well to be fair I dont think any of this invasive behavior to the communities around the circuit is NASCAR's fault.....seems Lori took the bag and the rest of it be damned. I do hope the sport gets some new fans out of this race, but the more I read and from what you enlightened me on, they arnt starting off on the best foot.
It’s almost like allowing crime to increase substantially is a bad way to to keep your job as mayor
