PDC peaked or can grow bigger?

For as packed as it is there, their is hardly any spectators in the pits.

Not true. New pit stands in 4 were packed. The stand only section was 3 and 4 rows deep. Pits were stuffed.

Keep it the way it is! Both nights had about 4 hours of great racing action. The mods put on a great show, the late models put on a great show. The format with the "features" on Friday playing into the big show on Saturday was fantastic!
IMO, they hit on the perfect format! Keep it the way it is and add PPV.

My only complaint is the golf carts...why people feel the need to keep driving in circles through a crowded pit area is beyond me.

I highly doubt any of the workers were laughing at people getting hurt. I was one of the workers over there and they asked me to help cause we were in shock with how many people were in line. We were not expecting that. I would assume changes will be made next year and improvements will be done. That's how we work. #FALS

Please check your reading comprehension.....I never said they were laughing at people getting hurt, they were laughing at the whole cluster of a process and the way people were running to get the seats they wanted.

One solution is open the grandstands Friday morning and allow blankets to remain for Saturday, then you would at least eliminate one day of that joke of a processes.

The two biggest problems are the old grandstands on the front straight and the half mile track, not parking. You can park anywhere you can run a shuttle to. Knoxville does it for over 20,000 people.

Narrow that front stretch 1/2 mile to a minimum and put high bleachers and sky boxes around to the back stretch bleachers. A elevator also.

Then your Saturday only crowd is upset with the seating. There's no way of making everyone happy. I'm sure we will be evaluating the situation and make it better next year. Thanks for coming.

Can you imagine how many more people would've been there had JD been there? lol

Penalize the people that pay for two nights to make the people that only show up Saturday happy?

The seating is enough for all the other weeks. Can the very large expense of expansion be justified?

Rumor i heard on reserved seats is you have to buy your wrist band for the weekend with your reserved seats and if thats the case that will free up some seats.

Penesboro and illstate32 welcome and hope you all had a great time, and your seats are available to you next year just let me know in march if you def want them or not.

We had a great time, definitely will be back. Thanks for the reserved seats, and it was nice meeting you guys!

not specific to this event, but those (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) blankets are one of the reasons I won't attempt to get to a big show after work.

PDC obviously doesn't need me to break even, but reserved seating or tickets with seat assignments would reduce the general admission chaos.

We loved it it lived up to everything I expected it to be..love the atmosphere of the whole place..we are already making plans for next year thanks once again...

Rumor was they were attempting to purchase the school land across the track. There was supposed to be another school built in another part of town

This is not true as I'm from Fairbury. There was another school that closed in Forrest which is bringing more kids to that school in Fairbury as we are a consolidated school district. If they would ever build another school somewhere else, I'm sure the track would jump all over buying that group to make for more room.

[QUOTE=t4g2;2123677]Rumor i heard on reserved seats is you have to buy your wrist band for the weekend with your reserved seats and if thats the case that will free up some seats.They tried that at one time where you paid for it all at once when you came in. It sounds like an idea, but it actually ends up being a clustered mess!! Trust me...mine was part of the mess as with my group, we have 37 reserved seats (yes, I said 37) and I have that many people who come for the PDC race every year. Trying to make sure everyone pays for this and that will make for more headache when you come in the gate than already is. That's when they started doing the reserved seats online as well as camping early in the year before the season starts to avoid such a headache. My hat is off to Gunner Sullivan for starting that whole idea and concept!!

Just make every seat a reserved seat.
I do think PPV would help with the over crowding.
If the event is as big as it can get fan wise, then so be it. Nothing wrong with the event being SOLD OUT.
