Big Fairbury news coming tomorrow.

If they want to continue to grow and hold bigger shows they need to tear down the front stretch stands and build larger, unobstructed stands

[t4g2]

They can't grow as they have no room for parking or camping. Got to get Thoses problems solved first before seating. And expand concession counters. Shouldn't take me missing 3 heats to get a burger and water.

Only concessions I hit all year are at Eldora. I fill my gut up at a restaurant or campground before arriving. I don’t go to race tracks to stand in lines for food. I go to watch racing. ....then after race, if one’s available, straight to Steak ‘n Shake.

[t4g2]

Well I try supporting the track esp weekly shows but not anymore at fals I'll eat before I go.

[Highside Hustler25]

I'm generally the same DC. I eat before I go. But when they have bacon wrapped skrimps and crab ragoon like they did at LaSalle, I'm in !

I agree the front stands need redone. But I get it...it’s kinds part of the charm / history factor. Besides if they tear those down...people in town will lose their $hit. It’s sort of the Wrigley field of dirt. Don’t want to lose historical look, but they need to do something. It’s a super fun place to race or watch a race. Somehow they need to keep the Fairbury aura, but grow a little as well. Not an easy task

I believe Matt said full capacity is 7000? Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'd say that's maxed out unless you want to eliminate the camping. Otherwise, their is just no where to park all the vehicles. You're only going to plant so many butts around a 1/4 mile oval.

[MUD MAESTRO]

The only problem FALS has is an adequate facility to serve a larger number of race fans. Frankly, FALS isn't the quaint little race track in the middle of town I remember from years past. Enjoy the new monster in Fairbury, I'll stay at home and support the special races on line.

[Highside Hustler25]

It still is Mud. Except for about 3 races a year.

[Krooser]

I think the original grandstands could be updated then add on a matching, larger, toward turn four. It would require replacing the existing grandstands east of the old grandstand.

I love those historic tracks. The last one I tried to promote had a vintage 900 seat grandstand. Only 50 years old but it had that great old fairgrounds feel...

[WisWildManFan]

Be awesome to see back stretch stands moved forward and then add another 5 rows to the top of them

8,000 Capacity with offseason expansion.

5 rows? If money was no object, they could go much higher. We went to Kokomo and those backstretch bleachers were awesome. I think FALS could go quite a bit higher on the backstretch. Huge seating opportunity above the backstretch beer tent as well. Parking cars is a whole different animal though unfortunately.
