Indy reduces grandstand seating

Out at the Indy Motor Speedway track for the annual Mutt-Strut last weekend and noticed IMS tore out the NE Vista Backstretch stands. Made a few inquires and found out they will not be replaced. Overall reserved seating capacity reduced ala NASCAR track owners.

At least on the plus side the aerials won’t show all those empty seats. Below are a previous years and current map. Note the NE Vista stands.

Old

New – Note shorter Northeast Vista on backstraight
