I'll know after today as I have been trying to get a decent price on 4 box seats. Hopefully somewhere in that outside box section slightly elevated at the finish line. If anyone has a quality 4 pack they are willing or tryng to sell I am interested. Hopefully the laptops still get wireless there so you can wager online without battlin' the Wallbanger hangover croud each and every play of the day

Depends on where you want to sit.

Best seats are 2nd floor grandstand - lower box outside. If you can get a seat there for less than $300, you've got a good deal.

Apron boxes are affordable, if you've got $150 a seat to spend. Be careful of the "close to the finish line" tags on these. Of the listings I've viewed at Stubhub, etc and on ebay, the descriptions are misleading. The boxes are numbered while the rows are lettered. Example: Listing might say "Apron Box F - Row 65". That really means you're 65 boxes down the stretch from the finish line, and in row F from the rail.

Yeah I picked up on that you really want to be buying in the 1-28 section

Ended up with clubhouse box just past the finish line outside.......hope to at least make what the damn parking costs!!
