Indy Racing League still trying to turn a profit
March 13, 2010
Terry Angstadt, who oversees the Indy Racing League’s commercial division, thinks the series could break even in 2011
and be profitable by 2012 despite myriad challenges facing open-wheel racing.

Hope F1 holds off on coming back til refueling ban is lifted. People ,no matter what the national stripe, like some form of competition in their racing. Love the "G" of F1 but this weekends race needed some "racing". One car behind another for 49 laps is not time or money well spent. Maybe F1 will do a NASCAR and make a mid season change. You bring that product to the US market and good luck. Indy is not world class but what road race Mecca are you gonna find at Uncle Sam's. Daytona??!! Unless NYC has plans for a Monza on the Island, Indy will have to do for now. My F1 monkey needs his fix and I dont care where I get it.
And yet the Gomeratti is all geeked up about the increase in ratings. As if a 0.4 is a world-beater. 0.freaking4! Woweeeee!!!!
I predict the 2010 Indy 500 gets a sub-3 this year.
Other races will garner San Jose CART-like numerals.
Funny watching this league in the throes of terminal illness.
I'm not sure the statement that Minnesota beat Purdue hurt the Sunday attendance. Over 81,000 for 5 sessions - 16,300 or so per session. Capacity is 18,345. Pretty sure Thursday was empty. Wasn't there Sunday, but appeared to be full. Does anyone know the attendance by session? Can't find on the web.
Chicago is not a good choice in this fan's opinion as the arena is not within walking distance of downtown amenities. More expensive than Indy as well.
