The 500 is fantastic!! You’d think, though, that the geniuses handling traffic might figure out how to get cars moving!! We sat eastbound on 16th Street for well over an hour….no movement…these folks shut it down! I don’t know how to fix this but maybe we could hire Elon Musk for 3 minutes to figure it out!! I realize that post-race traffic is a relatively new phenomenon…It’s only been 114 years to figure it out…but damn, folks, this is worse than a joke!
350k people leaving at the same time and you expected a speedy departure. An hour isn’t that bad.
We didn’t have that problem. The problem we experienced, though, was encountering road closures for construction (i.e., Dandy Trail and Washington St.), and ended up having to take a much longer route around the city to get home. We parked on the west end of the city park there by St. Christopher. We went west and got as far away from the track as possible.
Were you coming from the track itself, like the infield? I recall reading somewhere that they hold car traffic because of all the pedestrians. Maybe that’s what you encountered?
I agree some of their route closings seem inexplicable but at the same time I’ve been stuck that long leaving concerts and other major events with a fraction of the attendance. I’ve been stuck more than 30 minutes trying to get out of a parking garage after a Pacers game.
The Fox broadcast was very good. EXCEPT, they were in commercial at the start when the green flag was thrown. That is one of the most exciting parts of the race. Cars were alteady spread when they came back live. Who was the genius that thought the commercial was more important???
Pre-race interviews and discussion was very interesting.
Largest viewership because it was televised in their own area. Duh
The Central Indiana blackout region usually accounts for between 300k to 400k viewers. That’s a piece of the story, but it’s not as much as you’d think.
Record viewership and that’s with Chris Myers in the booth.
