    It's 1000% better in person, the track is a lot bigger than you would think compared to broadcasts. The restaurants bars hotels and arena experience is awesome. That also comes with arena and downtown prices so just be aware of that. Every year the track has different characteristics but seems to put on the best shows when it has some ruts, bumps, and character. Ball park village is cool and also the Budweiser tours are cool as well. I think I only missed one so far. If big speed is why you like racing this isn't the place for you but if you love the smell, sounds, and elbows up racing in the middle of December you won't be disappointed.

          Well if you like a 40 mph race fights in the grandstands in a high crime area waiting an hour to eat then you probably need to go plus high prices at the concession stand

            I only go because it's bonding time with my nephews. As I don't see them much.

              Clicked the Dome off of my bucket list last year. Had an excellent time! Did a lot of walking. Well worth it.

                  I've been twice. Always a fun show and lots of energy. Its a different style of racing, lots of drama and the best car doesn't always win. The late models put on the best show. The modifieds crash way too much and its one caution after another. If you want to go from the stands to the pits, be prepared to walk a lot.

                    It was a mess to even get a pit pass the first year. We had preordered our passes months before. Finally after walking around the whole stadium, one single table with no sign on it got them to us. We asked staff member we seen, and nobody could tell us anything up to that point. Hopefully it's a little more organized now.

                    I've never had to walk that much to get from GA to the pit area in my life. Although seeing the cars on the street outside the dome is still one of the coolest things about the event.

                      I have been there twice to race and this year we have a skybox to watch. It's worth it to go. The racing is good. Always a little drama that keeps the crowd buzzing. Lots to do around the city before and after the races.
                      Zac, I know what you mean about that hike from the pits. My 1st time there was 6 weeks after my heart bypass. My Dr said I needed to walk but holy he11 that was hard to do. LoL
