SI.com has posted the 10 must-visit sports locations & venues. And guess what? Daytona was included but IMS is nowhere to be seen.
Oh...how the mighty Brickyard has fallen.

According to SI.com, the people beg to differ. Not the people who malign the track and event on the web, but the people who filled the grandstands and infield last May.Quote:

There was a similar article on MSN.com a few months ago. Rest assured there were plenty of angry comments over the absence of Indianapolis (some even from NASCAR fans).
I didn't know people actually took Swimsuit Models Illustrated seriously.
I didn't know DP has a stronger influence than Indy500, I mean seriously to these trollers, at least bring up some constructive argumentation. While it might be true Indycar got more exposure to media because of DP, it is Indy500 that made her, not that she made Indy500.
Conisder the source. SI is known for covering stick and ball sports first. Then there is the swim suit deal. They never have covered motorsports in the same vane as football, basketball, baseball, golf, etc..IMO.
The Honda 500 at Indy is nothing like the past Indianapolis 500's that built the reputation and prestige of the race.
No matter how many people show up in the stands next year, it will still be the Honda 500 at Indy.
And in 2010 when they might have a few new engine suppliers, they will continue to prevent one off entries at Indy.
More and more it's becoming like NASCAR. Only less popular.
Yeah, I can think of alot of places more "must see" than Fenway bloody Park.
If it said Top 10 must visit sports locations in the USA, then ok..
You just don't know what Fenway means.Quote:

I went to Florida and so paid a visit to Daytona then drove down to Homestead, but was asked to leave there, due to private testing.
Why else would I go to Indy other than to see Indy?
