In year 2 they drew 175K on race day to the first major U.S. sports event post 9/11. Only their final race day crowd was smaller than our two have been.

Indy was selling tickets at $15.00 at the door for general admission on practice and qualifying days to get the total numbers up higher. They also did alot of promotion. There is a reason Indy did not want to renew the F1 contract!!
