Indianapolis Motor Speedway announced Wednesday that it worked with the local public health department to determine the 40-percent venue capacity permitted for the May 30th race. The speedway is the largest sporting facility in the world with more than 250-thousand grandstand seats and typically hosts 400-thousand on race day throughout the entire property. The figure surpasses the largest pandemic crowd of just over 47-thousand spectators who watched Alabama football’s spring game at Bryant-Denny Stadium on April 17th.
