The Indianapolis 500 is set to host the largest sports crowd in the United States since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway announced Wednesday that it will host up to 135,000 fans on May 30, which is 40% of venue's capacity. If the 40% capacity is met, that will mark the world's largest crowd for a sports event since the onset of the pandemic.
“The number-one thing fans can do to ensure a great Race Day is get vaccinated as quickly as possible,” Penske Entertainment President & CEO Mark Miles said in a press release.
