Surprise! IndyCar Barber Capacity Expands

Barber Motorsports Park and its government-backed promoter, ZOOM Motorsports, have learned a valuable lesson.

Never disclose seating capacity at a road course or street circuit.

The reason for this is simple enough. If everyone knows your capacity, then you can not fudge your attendance figures. If you can not fudge your attendance figures, then you risk losing your government subsidies.

Curt Cavin of the Indianapolis Star learned this week that Barber's previously announced capacity of 30,000 is apparently not the case. This would seem to imply that more fans will be permitted. How many more? Apparently, the BMP official did not say.

They're learning.
