Sergeant Politeness Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 So do you guys think that the World Finals should be moved to any of these other great venues? The "Thunder Alley" style racing wouldn't be available everywhere but it would mean larger crowds, larger space for freestyle obstacles, and overall safer conditions for the audience and also the drivers. Best bet would be the Citrus Bowl. They've done Vegas style racing there before and I'm pretty sure space wise the Citrus Bowl's floor is larger than Sam Boyd Stadium's floor.

AuzGrams Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I'm interested to see what will happen to the World Finals at Sam Boyd Stadium if this new UNLV football stadium gets built (which is pretty far into the planning stages right now).

rmnldr Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 I looked over some of the proposed plans and drawings of that stadium and it doesn't look like the "Thunder Alley" racing. it also may only be slightly larger than Sam Boyd stadium.

monsterjamcod0329 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Well, you guys can't even base the size off of video, for some reason, videos make the track look bigger. For example, the world finals, it looks so big on tv but when you are walking on it it is so small you wonder how the trucks do what they do on such a small track.

rmnldr Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 I've physically been on the Superdome's floor and I can tell you it is massive. Yeah, all stadiums are roughly the same size because they are made to hold football fields, but some are a lot wider and more cavernous than others. It's often said by sports commentators that while inside the Superdome, they forget they're even inside. But once again, I brought this issue up not to compare the aesthetics of venues, but to come up with a safer and more efficient venue for the World Finals. Maybe I should rename the title.
