Some good, mostly bad
by Bikerandrunner on 11/26/17Mall of America East Lot - BloomingtonGreat track for a temporary venue. Impressed with temporary bleachers. I’m used to some waiting at Grand National flattrack; but X-Games took downtime to new heights. When we did have racing we had annoying announcers tell us how excited we were. They knew little technical and talked about what the racers were thinking instead. Racing itself was good. Half hour waits for concessions and same for portable toilets. I assume that will be better in 2018. Most frustrating was my ticket was left at will calll and they had no will calll at the track in Bloomington. In hindsight I’m guessing will call was back at the main venue at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Would have been nice for that to be mentioned somewhere. I emailed Ticketmaster to complain and they instructed me to call them; but I was on hold forever and finally gave up. Very frustrating especially when the fees were more than the ticket. Great potential for this event; but easily preventable short comings made it not so great.
