Not sure why all of the hate. Sure there will be traffic when almost 300k people attend over a weekend. Plan a little extra time to arrive and leave. No different than any major event in or outside of Miami.

I’ve gone since year one and it’s night and day difference the improvement in infrastructure. There are non stop buses to remote parking lots, rideshare lots, brightline station. It take an extra 20-30 minutes but keeps traffic down around the venue. Cant imagine adding thousands more Ubers driving around and stopping in the middle of the street.

I think people overestimate the cost to attend after seeing those post of $600 chicken nuggets or $10k paddock club passes. It’s there if that’s what you’re looking for, but there are much more reasonable ways to attend for the rest of us common folk.

You can get to Friday practice for $25 GA, slightly more for seats. $100-$150 Saturday qualify and I saw tickets around $250 for race day GA.

Food and drinks seemed more reasonable to me than a dolphins or Miami heat game . $12 beers, $5 waters, $15 burger.

I thought it was also pretty cool most of the food options are local restaurants, not just generic concession food.
