Also,I've seen for more than a few years the blocking out of large sections of seats for ads so the place doesnt look so empty.I noticed at Louden that there were seats missing at turn 3-4.They removed a huge section.They used to have 101,000 seats and now they show 88,000.This peaked my curiosity and I found out that many tracks have removed 10,s of thousands of seats so the place doesnt look so empty.don't recall which but one went from around 140,000 to 100,000.In all there have been almost half,yes half a million seats removed since nascars peak in 2008!
