Remember...if you limit how many seats you sell, it is easier to say you had a sellout.The left side of the track will not be open for seating. I guess they are going to have more than one Jumbotron on that side of the track.

They've had packed crowds without limiting seating. Chicago is just a abnormal venue when it comes to seating.Remember...if you limit how many seats you sell, it is easier to say you had a sellout.
Unlike the stick and ball sports, drag racing never gives out the capacity of the venue and how many tickets were really sold. So when they say an event is a sellout, it is a meaningless statement.
NHRA and the tracks never announce capacity for a venue. When they say an event is sold out, they never tell you how many tickets were sold. Without giving the capacity or the number of tickets sold, any claim that an event is sold out is meaningless. The crowd may looked packed but that does not mean it is sold out.They've had packed crowds without limiting seating. Chicago is just a abnormal venue when it comes to seating.
A handful of people were siting on the north side yesterday. NHRA has two Sunoco screens near the starting line on that side so I don’t know how obstructed the view is. You definitely cannot see the cars from the starting line area. Down track it may not be an issue.Tons of GA seats are available on the North side for Sat & Sun.
My question is, What is the cap at a national event that NHRA takes in before they make a profit? Many have discussed that when NHRA has a National event at a track, They pretty much take a majority of the income and the track pretty much depends on the concessions for income. My question is, How much money does NHRA need to cover costs? Remember, They are a non-profit or a not for profit organization. If I were a track owner, I'd be selling as many tickets as I could because at a nomal test-n-tune or other event, They wouldn't even come close to the amount of people that would attend. IMO, like the NFL or MLB, they never hesitate to let the viewers/ fans know what the sold out capacity is.NHRA and the tracks never announce capacity for a venue.

Whether it's sold out or not, butts are in the seats. And plenty of other sporting events have had juiced attendance records.
