Seeing 70,000 fans at the Brickyard 400 might look sparse in a stadium built for 300,000, but that’s still one of the biggest crowds in NASCAR this year—only the Daytona 500 drew more. While attendance dipped slightly, it’s worth noting that most NASCAR tracks don’t even come close to these numbers, and many sell out with less than half that crowd. The return to the oval has brought back some of the race’s old magic, and fans seem to value the tradition. With live sports attendance changing everywhere, what matters more: packed stands or a great race experience? #Sports #Racing #Brickyard400
