Economic impact of no fans at Indy 500: Fanless race means millions in lost revenue

Thirty-three cars, 200 laps, 500 miles… and this year, zero fans.  “Very sad,” said racing fan Judy Perfetto. “We look forward to it every year.”  With a capacity of nearly 300,000, the 104-year-old tradition wasn’t immune to a pandemic. However, the loss of thousands of fans means the loss of millions of dollars.
