    Coming from south Bloomington is only about 30 minutes away. Lots of places to stay and eat there. Track food is good especially Paco’s Taco stand on front stretch.

      Bloomington has 50 plus hotels an has 367 restaurants. Very good locally owned restaurants. Hampton inn sponsors the pdc/ fairbury or has previous years sure they still do. If u don't have reserved seats I highly recommend you get them. Otherwise good chance you will standup all night.

        Word from the track after an e-mail back to the my group going is camping is already 100% reserved from those who had spots last year. Just a heads up

          There's always tent camping an across the street RV camping as it's first come first serve an there's a few other lots near by to camp. Yes camp at track for rvs is sold out an a 5 year plus waiting list.

                It's a must see place. Sit on the backstretch if possible.

                  While more grandstands sounds great, where would you park them? The town is full now, the only way I see it working would be some sort of shuttle service to a parking area outside town,or buy a few holes from the golf course and rebuild them on the east side of the Cropsey road.

                    I will do the next best thing and stay in the comfort of my home and watch it on DoD and not fight the crowd.
