That's you speaking which is fine. If you go to the LBGP you won't see that many gray hairs. You might be right that it isn't as it was from a Boomer perspective.
I'll tell you one thing, it's expensive. I can't find any info on the average amount of money a fan spends at LB. I can find overall benefit to the economy (some 30 million, give or take), the cost of tickets which is about $114 for Sunday and a seat. Or $77 for a Friday up to $21,000 for the full 3-day executive suite ticket.
I'd estimate though, that the average expenditure per single person is around 300 all in and not staying overnight. That's just at the race. Accommodations are at a premium that weekend, so a min of $400 and way on up. Dinners in LB are like everywhere else. min $50/person and more like $75 with beverages.
No, it's not the same as when it was CART.
