Are the numbers so low they're embarrassed?

 

[BobbyFord]

I think nobody cares what the numbers are anymore.

 

[kkfan91]

I've never needed nor cared to know about how many people are there. As I've told people who harp on those numbers the race is on the track not in the stands.

 

[FenderBumper]

Poor Andy's conspiracy list is shrinking.

The only attendance statistic that matters is if I'M at the track

Attendance numbers. Bobby Ford, his fiance, 1 possum, 1 squirrel and 1 lucky travel package winner named Andy.

I can look at the stands and do a pretty good estimate of the percentage of occupied seats. That and the listed seating capacity will come close enough to tell if there are more or fewer people than the previous event.

Are you one of them idiot savants?

 

[Jeffrey00]

honestly who cares. Even with the lack of attendance over the years they are still pulling in the same if not more than an NFL stadium.

But the NFL has 15 or 16 games a week

We'll have to add that to your list.

true, but even with a sold out house you still don't get the full attendance numbers of a NFL weekend. My point being is we are still seeing 75,000-120,000 people on a weekly basis.

 

[mike honcho]

My guess is advanced ticket sales numbers are way down.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Are you one of them idiot savants?

That's half right.

 

[HoneyBadger]

It always amazed me how races recorded 100% (or higher) attendance when their stands weren't even half-full.

The same way NFL stadiums do it.

I like empty seats near by, it is more relaxing. Not politically correct but still true for me

 

[Restrictor Plate King!]

I did notice at the most recent race I attended back in September at Dover that there were alot of empty seats, too bad cause Brad drove one hell of a race that day...

I watched it from my comfy over-stuffed chair, which is perfectly positioned to take full advantage of my surround sound system!
Best seat in the house.

But I do miss the aroma of unburnt hydrocarbons and burning rubber when I watch at home...

I have two tires at the house that give off that aroma.

Who did you buy them from.Cause they surely not off your car.

I've had them for years. One of them is off Ron Hornaday's truck and is signed by Kevin Harvick and I got the other one at the Richmond Cup race one year - came off Reed Sorenson's Cup car I believe.
