Tickets for the government subsidized IndyCar race at Barber Motorsports Park are now on sale. The road course in Birmingham, Alabama reports that it will build temporary grandstands to accommodate what is expected to be a "phenomenal" crowd.
Previously, BMP indicated that seating capacity would be limited to 30,000 paying customers. That figure has since been revised. Not surprisingly, a new number was not released.
We now know that between 3,000 and 5,000 temporary grandstands will be erected for the April event. If that in fact brings capacity to 35,000, then Barber would likely be able to hold the crowd that half-filled Homestead-Miami Speedway for the penultimate race of 2009.
Nevertheless, attendance at Barber will look good to the couple hundred-thousand or so who watch the event on television.
