Not sure why Monmouth wasn't considered. Seems like that track/ facility w/b a much better choice than LS.
I know that LS has maintaned close ties w/ the NTRA and Mth hasn't. That likely had a lot to do (maybe everything) w/ the choice.
Plain and simply put, LS is too small for this event. Plans are in place to bring in temporary bleachers which s/ help some but this will be akward at best for fans in attendance that day.
With crowds of only 20,000 at LS you have 15 minute waits in line to wager and the concessions are a much longer wait. They have a really bad track record w/ large crowds.
