ratdaddy Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 What is a realistic grandstand seating capacity at CC Spdwy/Corpus Christi? OK I went to the track tonight and did some measuring (being I couldn't find my notes) to get an answer to your question. total spectator seating------4395 total pit seating---------------624 total seating-----------------5019 I measured the length of each set of stands, times rows and estimated on 18" of seat space per spectator. Now I did not allow for the wheel chair parking or the walkthrough in the main specator stand, which I figure you can deduct about 30 + or - . This does not include the 53' X 7' standing platform in turn 4 in the pits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickHolt Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Using the 18" rule, SAS could seat 5,000 in the main grandstands. Using the 18" formula, adults are shoulder to shoulder with zero wiggle room. And you and I both know that not everyone has a back side skinny enough to meet the 18" criteria. When I was involved in the management of SAS, we figured that 3,000 was a full house. Frankly, the 3,000 figure was rarely reached even on All Pro or TIDA LM nights.

RETrott Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Ratdaddy, You sure work cheap. Do you do home repairs? Auto repairs? Or, are you just used to "racers wages"? In any event, thanks for the info. I was thinking less, but glad I was wrong. So, if you have 3000 paid in the grandstand, a very good crowd but some wiggle room, as well as youngster free seats. I recall seeing an admission price of $9, is that still about right? What is a normal crowd? I'm not trying to mind someone else's business, just curious. Racers and race tracks both need sponsors and fans, sponsors need fans and customers, and fans need company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
