Isn't that pretty much the same with all Nascar tracks?
He let the wind out? How? It's still Benson's team from what I remember.I was very high on the Saints moving here, but Tagliabue quickly let the wind out of the sail. I just don't see it happening bro.

The Texas Speedway has plenty of events scheduled to make it successful.
If Benson had a sayso, why are they playing in Baton Rouge and a home game at the Giants stadium?
You ever been to Baton Rouge? If you have, then you would realize Benson doesn't have a say in much.
Nope. They have other series that race there and they also have driving schools that rent the tracks out.
I am a grown man living at my home, true. It does not suck though.
I see you now have joined the other mindless sheep.
I do. I know the numbers and figures.See, up until this point, I actually thought you knew what you were talking about when it came to the tourist industry.
9.1 million of the 21 million are leisure visitors who on average spend a night in San Antonio. Spending somewhere between 91 and 100 dollars per person.
Yeah. And the convention organizers choose certain cities year after year for a reason.There are convention organizers, and there are convention attendants.
Whhaaat? So you're saying they race on the track even when its not Nascar season?The Texas Speedway has plenty of events scheduled to make it successful.
Holy crap! I guess they possibly couldn't do that here...
The NFL decides the schedule. Benson decides where he wants his team in the long run.If Benson had a sayso, why are they playing in Baton Rouge and a home game at the Giants stadium?
Houston has what? A surbanite population with plenty of 30 and 40 year old Southern born males with disposable income who would have no problem with heading out to the track with some buddies to watch a race or hang out at home and catch it on the tube in the backyard while grilling up some burgers and downing some MGDs or whatever.
And those males will be just as happy to drag their asses to SA for a race as they will to stay home and watch one.
Believe me, plenty of the 250,000 race fans in Fort Worth a few weekends ago came up from H-town.
Oh yeah, that so fits the criteria for a Nascar city.
, is there even a criteria?
Fish in a barrell, squirt...... fish in a barrell. To be fair though, I haven't used the multiple screen names, Nsync, or photo stealing material on you. Those things went too far and weren't that funny to begin with. Besides, I was on teh Sugar Ray messageboard when I was a kid. I wouldn't want anyone to hold that against me now.I am a grown man living at my home, true. It does not suck though.
I see you now have joined the other mindless sheep.
The moral of this story is, tourists need more to do downtown. Fact.
Yes it does. Moreso than SA, no doubt.Oh yeah, that so fits the criteria for a Nascar city.
Um, yeah., is there even a criteria?
Seeing how this is being built with hotels and a resort golf course, don't you think "tourist" will be staying there? I do.
, they can stay in a hotel room downtown, catch a bus or (please god!) light rail 2 miles east.
San Antonio Speedway is one of two NASCAR sanctioned tracks in Texas and the only asphalt half-mile track in Texas.
This is one thing going for us.
Two: Location, Location, Location! Far enough away from Texas Motor Speedway and yet close enough to those border cities who turned out in Mexico City this year to sell out a Busch Series Race.
In my opinion what would do well here would be a short track. We need more short track racing on the circut. Too many cookie cutter tracks like Texas and Atlanta.
What is it?Um, yeah.
1) Have a big race track.
2) Enough trailer parking.
3) Enough trucker hats for sale.
Like it was said before, you could put a track in Del Rio and people will go to it.
Why bother with putting it in the middle of nowhere when you can put it in North Houston?
It's the middle of nowhere until someone makes it something.
This is the Victory development in Dallas but on a grander scale.
Go try looking that up.
Go look where they decided to build that thing.
Sure, very close to their downtown but it was a wasteland prior to somone's "vision."
Hey Dawn!
Don't forget to mention that San Antonio Speedway has the crappiest lineup of cars that race on that track and on any given Saturday night, a race might consist of 3 cars. Also, a main event may be cancelled and you are stuck watching go kart racing.
I have been there and I must say I am never going back to that craphole.
I used to live in Denver and the Colorado Rocky Mountain Speedway was first class and SA's imitation isn't even close to it.
MLB, NFL, Nascar????????
It's just an illusion.
Since when is the east side of San Antonio the middle of nowhere?
TMS is really out in the middle of Nothing. Justin, Tx and Hwy 114 is not really in the middle of town. But they sure are building like crazy out there.
So your lame ass goes one time and now you think you know how it operates on a weekly basis?
As well as wearing platforms.MLB, NFL, Nascar????????
It's just an illusion.
I was referring to the Del Rio suggestion, but North Houston is definitely more attractive for such a venue than SA's Eastside.
Can't argue with that...I mean they DID can the boat races last weekend.
Now, yes. But once the project is finished... z no.
Del Rio? Del Rio sucks... How does Writer come up with this crap?
I wasn't being serious. Just explaining that one could put a Nascar track in let's say Sequ's ass and people will still fill the stadium up on race day.
You really are a dip .
I don't go pay $10+ for something and get lied to and then go back for seconds you dip .
