Don’t understand why we cant be at 75%. Everything else can be. the place is so large, 40% is ridiculous.
And, um, it’s outside, where the virus has been shown not to be transmitted (less than a few cases globally). Follow the science, Dr. Cain….
Math and Science are not strong points for Caine (see last summer’s Lucas oil debacle) she is more of a virtue signaling and politics kinda Dr.
Agree with comments that 40% seems too low for such a huge, sprawled-out venue encircling a 2 1/2 mile track. And outside for heavens sake! Penske must be shaking his head. But I’ll be there!
This is BS!
I think its important to remember that while the venue can hold 400k theres not near that many people who go. I’m not sure of the exact count in recent years but 135k is not 40% of the 2019 attendance. I agree it should be at full capacity but the 40% is misleading.
Exactly. They’ll be glad to be “full” at 135K. That will actually be about 50% of last year and not that bad.
This is what you get with dumb ass mayor Hogsett.
Surrounding counties have lifted mask mandates and some other restrictions, people that don’t want to be restricted need to go out of Marion county
Thanks Brian, that’s really helpful. I guess you didn’t have a family member or close friend die of Covid.
Hey moderator? Why is this comment allowed?
This is what you get with dumb ass mayor Hogsett.
Surrounding counties have lifted mask mandates and some other restrictions, people that don’t want to be restricted need to go out of Marion county. Hogsett proposed to surrounding counties that he would control surrounding counties restrictions, mask mandates etc and he was told no, what a bozo
why aren’t we at 100% of capacity by end of May? Anyone that wants a shot can get one and for sure will be able to get their shot if they are worried by the end of May.
Because as yesterday, only 25% of Hoosiers are fully vaccinated. Lots of spread still going on out there.
And as of two days ago, only 23% of Marion Co residents are fully vaccinated. That’s pretty pathetic.
Temperature checks for all ticket holders? Completely for the optics and absolutely ridiculous.
Exactly. What if it’s 90 and humid? What is the contingency plan for turning ticket holder’s away at the gate? Refunds? Exactly what temp is too high?
Hogsett has said he isn’t loosening anything up until 85% of people in Marion county are vaccinated. Time to remove this clown from office
Totally agree.
Agree that limits are too rigid and being an outdoor venue, capacity being allowed is too restrictive
Bryan, I assume you have an MD with specialization in infectious diseases, since you think you know more than Dr. Cain and other epidemiologists. If you don’t have these credentials, I suggest you go to med school and get them. Otherwise, don’t deceive the readers with your ill informed opinions.
Well bright one, all you have to do is look at Florida, Texas opening up and states that didn’t restrict.
I’ll go with Bryan. A big part of the problem is Caine and many other “experts” had comfy low profile government job and were suddenly elevated WAY beyond their depth.
Lester, I assume you assume we all established doctor-patient relationships with this Dr. Cain, right?
I’m not even a motorsports fan but this is getting so old.
I’d love to know the “science” behind this arbitrary decision. More government meddling.
I say open up at 100% capacity, while requiring proof of vaccination to be at the venue. Have the concerts and everything. Indianapolis could host the first major mask free event in the World since the pandemic began. You also may get some of the Republican Covid-19 deniers to get their shot so they can have some fun without a mask. If you don’t want a vaccine stay home.
I’m hoping/assuming that with the limited attendance, the race will be televised live in the Indianapolis market. Hoping!!!
how can packing people into the stands be safer than the infield?!?!?!? There is certainly more distancing between people walking around in the infield that squeezing people into the metal bleachers. Im not surprised at all they are limiting people in, that’s a given, but how in the world do they justify the stands and not the infield….
