Paddock

The Paddock Penthouse is the ideal seat to view pit action and the pre-race ceremonies. I had tickets in this area for over 20 years. The view is IMPRESSIVE. You can see the entire front straightaway and portions of Turn 1 and Turn 4. The lower the Box, the more you see the front of the cars as they scream down the front straightaway. If you sit near the “yard of bricks”, you can hear the tires of a car slap the bricks. It sounds like a rifle shot.

Can anyone tell me about the seats, Paddock Box B11??
Don’t have a clue and would like to know if I should sell or not.

I had tickets to the 2007 USGP, paddock box 25. They were horrible. I sat in paddock penthouse box 25 for all Friday and Saturday, that seat was terrific. It was 95 degrees all weekend, but in paddock penthouse, there was a nice breeze, and was very comfortable. I could see from turn 13 to turn 3, plus turns 5 and 6, parts of Hulman Blvd. Whereas on Sunday in paddock box, there was no breeze and was hot as hell. Also, the only thing I could see was basically right in front of me and could only see the top of a colored blur as the cars went by. If there is a USGP next year, I am spending the extra $65 for the paddok penthouse seats. It is definitaly worth it.

My seats are Paddock Box Section B 15 Row E 1 and 2
I wanted aisle seats to I got these. If anyone knows if they’re decent please let me know.

Megan- Those are “fair” seats. Not the best perhaps, but the best are hard to get and like you said, you wanted seats on the aisle. I think you’ll be sitting a little past the start/finish line, with a good view of the pits. You’ll be looking through the fencing and when the cars are directly in front of you they may be somewhat obstructed by the concrete wall. But you should have a great view of the pre-race ceremonies and everything, and you’ll really feel the excitement of being at an Indianapolis Motor Speedway event.

I have Paddock Box Seats and my understanding is that they are the best available or that is left. I’ve never been to the Indy 500…but for 40 years I have dreamed about it. This year will be a dream come true for both my son and I as we wil go together. Is there anything anybody could tell me on what to prepare for on Race Day, such as how early should you get to the track, what is traffic like, any hints on bringing items into the stands, etc.

I have attended races at the Brickyard for 26 years now. We have sat along the back streach, pit boxes,stand a and in the Paddock. I prefer the paddock for all the pit action. We sit just under cover, which keeps us dry and out of the sun. We always have the small ponchos with us, small radio with ear plugs for race updates ( the track PA is hard to hear during the race.) If you are in the single letter rows ( a- ? ) have sun protection

For David from Kansas City: dale from TPA is right on with the advice above. Always a good idea to bring earplugs as well. Traffic is nightmarish; if you don’t want to drive in a strange city, your best bet is to park and ride a shuttle bus from downtown or the airport. That way you don’t end up sitting in traffic for hours. If you drive, parking is limited (some lots around the track that the Speedway owns, very little parking inside, and parking in neighborhood yards). When you get to town, you’ll find the Indy Star has special sections the day (days?) before the race with all this info for visitors, plus info on how big a cooler you can bring in, how early to get there, etc., and some info will be on the local TV news as well. Or go to the Star’s website ahead of time: http://www.indystar.com. The Speedway’s website gives info about coolers, their parking, etc. (www.indy500.com). My dad’s favorite method was always to park in a neighborhood yard, then run for his car the minute the winner crossed the finish line - that way he could get home in a reasonable amount of time.

Thanks Dale and Anonymous. I appreciate your responses. I have reserved parking in 1B, should I expect to go back to my car after the race and set up the EZ up and grill some burgers and hang out for a few hours or does anybody have an idea if I will be able to get out right away?

WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN SEATS FOR THE PADDOX BOX, SECTION 31, ROW EE. ARE THESE ANY GOOD? ARE THEY IN THE SUN OR SHADE? WE GENERALLY SIT IN SECTION B OR E.

I won Paddock Penthouse tickets at a silent auction and am going into this very excited but very clueless. Could someone please let me know if there a dress code in the Penthouse? I would appreciate it! ajharley1@yahoo.com

You are very lucky to be able to experience your first Indy 500 from the Paddock Penthouse. Anyone who has been to any of the races at the Speedway might chuckle at your question, but the bottom line is this: Don’t worry at all about how you are dressed. The Paddock Penthouse, though covered, is outside so the most important consideration is to dress for the weather and your own personal comfort. As you will see, this means different things to different people. Though in general the Paddock Penthouse crowd may be a bit more “sophisticated” than the General Admission crowd, we are talking about (at the very most) the difference between polo shirts and clean t-shirts vs t-shirts and no shirts. The weather, the crowd, and the noise can make for a long day… dress to endure it, and have fun!

I just bought tickets and they are in S29 RowCC Seats 17-18.
Can anyone comment on how good these are?

hi Doug, Check out the photos here and you can pretty much figure out your sight lines. I would suggest trying to improve to paddock penthouse that is where i sat last year and will sit there again this year. Rent or borrow a radio so you can hear team chatter, get a program or newspaper so you can follow the different teams strategies as this section has great views of the pits. If you stick with your seats you will just see a little less. email direct if you would like. mega.surplus@sbcglobal.net

Hey all, My 3 college sons and I have sat in the Paddock Penthouse, Paddock, stand C and Tower Suites over the years at the 500. Does anyone have any suggestions on some new Stands we may want to try? Obviously E Penthouse would be rubbing elbows with the hierarchy but I’m quite sure they are not available. Anyone want to share their little secrets on the honey spots at Indy?

I have aquired tickets to the Brickyard 400. I have been to the raceway park for the nationwide series in the past but never to the speedway. The seats are located in the Paddock Penthouse, Box 25, Row H, Seats 3-4. Can you repley and tell me if these are good seats or not? Thank you!

is section 42 of paddock box ok seats

Hi Paul & all. I’m trying to get the best seat for my grandpop’s (and me too!) first motogp race for 2010. He was a racer and has worked on bikes for the last 50 years. This is my retirement present to him. I’m just not sure which seats to get him. I have a choice of Paddock Penthouse B14:D:5-6 & J S27:T:1-2. I chose those for a view of the pits where he has worked (and for shade) and for views of the turns. Any help? I really want this to be special. Thanks! -Lara

Lara- this is a little bit of a tough call, and probably depends on just how much you need the shade. I guess what I would point out is that in J Stand you’ll get to see the bikes going through turns 10-16… and things happen in the turns. In the Paddock Penthouse you will see them zoom by at max speed which is cool the first few times but gets a little monotonous after a while.

The interesting thing about the MotoGP race vs the Indy 500 or Brickyard 400 is that the Paddock seats (the ones on the first level, not the Penthouse) are general admission. Anyone can sit there (and it will not be full), and you can get great views of the garage area. The fencing is only a problem if you are really trying to get good photos or something… it’s no problem at all to look straight through it to the garages.

So I guess if it were me, and I could figure out the shade issue, I would go with the J Stand tickets because they provide the most options.

Good luck with your decision and enjoy the race!

I purchased seats in Paddock Box 18 Row T. Are these good seats? And how close are these seats to the start/finish line? And can you see the media center from these seats?

There is no way to objectively determine whether any particular seats are “good” or “bad”, so I can’t really answer that for you. It all depends on what you’re hoping to see.

Some people would say that since those seats are on a straight part of the track and not terribly high, that they are not great seats. But they aren’t terribly low either, and you will have a great view of the opening ceremonies and pit stops, etc.

I believe those seats are just past the start/finish, so you’re good there. I’m not sure why you would want to see the media center… that’s just full of guys sending Twitter messages to each other. I think that perhaps you mean the Pagoda… and yes, you will have a fabulous view of that.

Bottom line… you will have a great time at the race. Enjoy!

My first time at a nascar(Brickyard 400)I need to be close to washrooms and handicap parking I am ex military and my spine is fused in 2 places and walking far or standing for long streches are not an option and if possible I would like shade …anyone have any advice thanks Earl

Are the only seats in the shade in the paddock penthouse or would the seats in paddock box 8 be in the shade too?

Earl… I’m not 100% sure, but I don’t believe there are any handicap-accessible seats in the shade. If you are able to walk a bit, you might try a seat in the first level of the Paddock, or A/B/E Stands. My advice would be to call the Speedway and ask for advice… they’ll know the handicap parking situation best.

Samantha… the Paddock “boxes” are on the lower level and closest to the track. They typically do not have shade until very late in the day. Paddock “sections” are underneath the Paddock Penthouse and have shade. There are seats in the lower levels of A, B, C and E Stands that have shade (look for higher row letters).

I was very fortunate to have Paddock Penthouse seats for all of the USGPs and hope to eventually work my way back up there for the 500.

I would like others’ opinions about the Paddock Press Penthouse. How do they compare to the seats upstairs? Are they worth $150 vs. my $85 A Stand Upper Box?

Thanks!

Johnny- That’s a tough call. I’ve been in the Paddock Press Penthouse, but not on race day. Some people say that unless you are in the first row (A), it’s not worth it because it’s hard to see past the people in front of you, especially if they stand up. It’s a tight fit in there and the roof is low. I’m not sure a second row seat would be worth the extra $65, but a first row seat probably would be. Another thing to consider is that these seats are on the front straight while some people prefer to be in a turn for maximum viewing angles.

Thanks for your valuable insight Paul. I really appreciate your website.

I was curious about Paddock Press Penthouse because it was offered as one of my upgrade offers online when I renewed on Monday. I made it my 2nd choice. My first choice was to move further south in the A Stand, Upper Box, Rows RR or higher, closer to B Stand. My ultimate aspiration is B Stand Penthouse, based on what I read on your site.

Hoping to get Paddock Penthouse tickets for 2011 Indy 500. Went to the IMS site and registered and went to apply for tickets an no surprise but they are not offered as a choice. I realize I’ll have to pay more but will these be available at one of the other outlets like Tickets Now or Stub Hub? Thanks in advance for any help.

Wayne- Paddock Penthouse tickets will definitely be available via the various ticket brokers. I think it usually takes a couple months after this year’s race before you’ll start seeing them there. Good luck!

Thanks Paul. I’ll keep looking there.

We are looking for cheaper, covered aisle seats, and are looking at Paddock Section S27, Row AA. Can anyone tell me if we will have to be looking through the fence from these seats?

Tracy- for all seats in the lower level of the Paddock (boxes and sections), you will be looking through the fence.

2010 Indy 500: Row A, Box 20, Paddock Penthouse, above the tunnel to the infield, across from and just north of the pagoda and start-finish line.

These are premium seats, but like others, excel at certain things with some offsetting drawbacks. If race action and closely following the race is your goal, you may prefer to be high above a turn with a big video screen across the way than here.

You can see all the way across the front straightaway (the short way across, I mean) including the outside wall from Row A and without any pillars in front as A & B Stand Penthouse seats have, but the safety screen is in view all the way across the track. It’s hard to get good photos of race action, even sitting in Row A with no one in front of you, because of your sideways perspective on cars.

Though you can see from the exit of Turn 4 through the first third of Turn 1 when you arrive early and are the only one sitting in Row A, once the seats fill in, you can only see 15% or so of the front straightaway in front of you without leaning forward or standing up.

It’s thrilling to be so close to the track, but cars scream by so fast that it can be hard to even identify cars and drivers in traffic right in front of you. You do get to see some passes heading into Turn 1 if you lean forward and look right.

You get a seatback; bring a cushion. There are bathrooms and limited food and drink concessions at the top of this level; ground level has more choices. You’re in shade for the second half of the race in Row A, but in sun before about 2:30 pm EDT in late May. (Higher up in the first half dozen plus rows also starts in sun but gets shade sooner.) You would get wet from rain, if any. (Higher up stays dry.) It’s loud, though not as loud as under the roof below.

This is an ideal seat for the prerace and post-race ceremonies, which feel more remote when you sit half a mile or more away. Excellent view of a half dozen pits, the race flag (green-yellow-checkered etc.) stand, the yard of bricks, and the podium, from Box 20. The video screen across the track is very small here, making it harder to follow action elsewhere than sitting in the turns with the much larger screens across the track there.

I feel privileged to have been able to see the Indy 500 from here once, but next time, my preference would be for a seat high above a turn.

So happy that i won tickets in paddock to the brickyard thoses tickets are about 90$. Time to party!!!

Hi Paul, Me and my elderly uncle (both of us homegrown Hoosiers) are making our first ever trip to the Indy 500 in 2011. I’m trying for two shaded seats in Stand E, an upper row - between sections 1 - 24. What are your thoughts, in general, and specifically regarding best location (row/section/seat numbers/comfort/etc.) I know this is a lot to ask - many thanks for your reply.

Greg- You’re asking about E Stand but your comment is on the Paddock page… hopefully you’ll find this reply.

Regarding E Stand… you are correct, sections 1-24 are the covered ones, and you will need to be an upper row. I don’t remember exactly how high the lettered rows go but I do know that there are no double-letter rows, so something in the mid to upper alphabet should be fine. The lower numbered (single digit) sections will give you the best view down the front straight.

If you have your heart set on E Stand, I would probably get tickets soon. There are some available via the ticket links toward the top of this page. While it is true that you could probably show up on race day and get some from a scalper a little cheaper, it’s not worth the stress and trouble for your first time. Better safe than sorry in my opinion.

If you don’t go with E Stand, there is still shade to be had in B Stand, A Stand, the Paddock, and a little in C Stand.

Regarding comfort, I might also suggest making sure you sit in a stand where there are seat backs… I believe all of the ones I have mentioned do have them.

Hope this answers your questions… if not, let me know. Enjoy the race!

I hope anyone can help me. My husband and I are from the Netherlands. We will be making a trip for my husband’s birthday. I applied for tickets in the Paddock since we also would like to see some pit action. I got a message that they issued as the following tickets: PADBX : B59 : R : 9-10. What does this mean? The first one is Paddock Box I guess but what does B59 stand for. I assume I am sitting on row R, seats 9-10?

Aïda- B59 indicates that your seats are in Box 59. You are correct about Row R seats 9 & 10. Paddock Boxes run from Box 1 at the south side of the Paddock (closer to turn 1 of the oval) to Box 69 on the north side (closer to turn 4). You will be sitting across from the Tower Terrace grandstand, and the Pagoda will be across the track on your right. The top qualifying cars will likely be pitting further down the track, but you should still be able to see lots of pit action from your seats. Have a great time at the race!

Thank you Paul for your great reply. I really appreciate it. After the race I will submit photos from our seats for this site.
On another site it said that there are no backs to the seats that we were assigned. However, looking at the pictures on this site I do not think this is true. My husband and I were in Indianapolis in 2000 for the inaugural Formula1 race. We sat in the inside field on turn 1 (in F1 that is the last turn of course) on raceday. On Saturday we sat in the paddock for a while watching the pits. However, after all these years I can not (of course) remember whether or not the seats had backs.
Anyway, I understand the higher up your seats are the better the view. Do you have an idea how the view will be from row R?

All of the seats in the Paddock have seat backs. You are correct that in general the higher you are, the better the view. However, my opinion is that you can be “too high” in the lower portion of stands that have an upper level. The higher you go, the less you can see vertically. It might not seem like a big deal, but if I’m sitting on the front stretch, I’d like to be able to see the Pagoda, the scoring pylon, the flyover, the balloons, the sky, etc.

I guess that’s a long way of saying that you should be fine in row R. Some of the photos on this page were taken from row H, so you can see that you will be higher than that. You might even be high enough to catch some shade depending on the weather and the time of day. Given your desire to see pit action, these aren’t bad seats.

Paul - you’re awesome - such great information. I’ve been an Indy 500 fan for 40 years - hope to go to my first race next year. What do you think about Paddox box 38 row M, versus Paddox section S09, row KK? thank you!

Brenda- Glad you like the site. I don’t really like to get into “this seat or that seat” discussions because there are so many variables and ultimately everyone will have their own opinion. And I’m a firm believer that you’ll have a great time no matter where you sit.

That said, S09 KK will have shade if that’s important to you (B38 M probably won’t until at least mid afternoon). It’s also a higher row, so that will be good. However, as I’ve mentioned in a previous comment, you will have limited visibility overhead, so take that into consideration.

Exactly the kind of answer I was looking for - thanks very much!

Hi Paul, Sorry, it took me some time to get back to the site (I was sick). Thanks for your great answer. I am sure we will be fine now. As I said, after returning I will send some photos for the site.

Does anyone know how many seats are in the Paddock grandstand? We’re in 15-16, and was wondering if that’s on an aisle.

Ryan- I’m pretty sure each row has 20 seats in the Paddock.

I just bought tickets for my husband as a surprise. He will have to travel 15 hours to get there..but now I’m worried that the seats I purchases may be not worth it. Can anyone give me any feedback on Stand c section 1 R??? He likes the pit action. Thanks

Kimi- This page is really for the Paddock stand, but I’ll answer your question about C Stand. First, I’m a firm believer that you will have a great time no matter where you sit, so keep that in mind. From those seats, you should be able to see the end of the pits, and you should be able to see the cars coming out of turn four. Probably the biggest advantage to your seats is that they should be in the shade. There are better seats to see pit action, and better seats to see turn four, but these will not be “bad” seats or anything. I would recommend just not worrying about it and focusing on having a good time.

Hi-Paul,

We have seats in the Paddock Boxes(B6,RN)are these good seats? I love taking pictures! Do you know if we will be in the Sun or the Shade. Also how much of the Track will we be able to see?
Thank You for all your advice!

2011

MsIndy- You should have a great view of the pits, opening ceremonies, and other pre/post-race activities. I think you will be in the sun… maybe a little shade as the afternoon wears on but no guarantee. Those seats are not the best (but perhaps not the worst either) for viewing the actual race because they are on a straight and they are not very high. As you look up or down the track, the fencing will obstruct your view. You will be able to get great pictures of your day at the track with the Pagoda and crowd in the background, but pro-quality pictures of the cars etc. will be impossible due to the fence. Have fun at the race! I’m sure you’ll have a good time.

I am potentially buying 4 tix for Box 32 in the Paddock, row DD. Anyone know where these may be in terms of the s/f line and the pits? From what I can gather it may be near the end of the paddock from the overhead pics but not quite sure.

Tim- Paddock Box 32 should be 10 boxes north of the start/finish, in the lower and uncovered portion of the Paddock. The start/finish is at Box 22… the Paddock boxes run from #1 on the south side closest to turn 1 of the oval to #69 on the north side closest to turn 4 of the oval.

Hi Paul, This will be my 12th year straight attending the race. Every single year we have sat in the infield in the short shoot (yes because we like to party). This year I bought tickets for something different. I am in Paddox Box 26 row B which I thought were to be great seats but after reading many comments on your page it doesn’t seem like they will be all that great. I was wondering what your opinion on these seats were. My thoughts are….it has to be better than what you can see sitting on top of the hill! Your advise is greatly appreciated.

Jake- On the positive side, you’ll be very close to the start/finish and will have a great view of the pre-race ceremonies and pit stops, etc. Unfortunately though, your view of the actual race won’t be so good. Being so low in the stands, it will be difficult to see much more than the tops of the cars when they flash by you and your view to the north and south will be greatly restricted by the fencing. I might suggest watching the start of the race from your seats, and then try looking for some unoccupied seats higher up, or even moving to the infield for a while. Then when the race gets close to the finish, move back to your seats. Then again, everyone has their own opinions about what seats are best, and you might find that they aren’t so bad after all. Good luck!

if you were going to sit in the Paddock Penthouse, would you choose middle (say box 28-30) or further toward the end (45-48). I have the option of either. Taking my 16 yr. old son for his first Indy. He can’t hardly contain himself, and I feel the same.
Great and very informative site, thanks for all the hard work,
Scott

Scott- all other things being equal, I personally would choose the boxes closer to the start/finish for better pre/post race and pits, etc. The only consideration might be that if the seats toward the end were substantially lower rows (like row A or B), I might choose those. Or if you really wanted a better view of turn 4 or something.

thanks for all the good insights.

i’ve been given seats in the paddock here:

Box 29
Row S
Seats 1-3

This is our frist 500 & any thoughts you have about these seats would be appreciated.

William- You will have a great time. I think those are decent seats for first-timers. I had horrible seats for my first 500 and loved it anyway. Have fun at the race!

Hey Paul, we’re crossing off a bucket list item for my father in law with this year’s Indy 500. We’re in Paddock S26 MM. From what I’ve gathered, that means we’re in the shade and have seat backs and a limited sky view. How will our view of the pits and straighaway be? Thanks!

Josh- Congrats on the bucket list item! You will be “made in the shade” and will have seat backs (sweet!). You should have a great view of the opening ceremonies, the pits, and front straight. There are (in my personal opinion) a couple of disadvantages to those seats, namely the limited vertical view and the constant turning of your head from left to right as the cars pass by, but it’s not that big a deal. Plan to bring some earplugs as the sound of the cars reflects off the upper level of the Paddock and that increases the volume. But no matter what, you will have a blast! Hope you enjoy it!

We are going to our second 500. We have seats in the Paddock section 20, rows UU and TT, seats 17-20. I figured we would miss some of the overhead sights, but how are these for the race and pit action? Thanks for this info. I have been wondering about this since we received these seats.

Jeff- You’ll have a great view of the pits and the cars on the front straight. Don’t worry about it… enjoy the race!

This is my second time at Indy. I purchased seats in Section 30, Row TT, Seats 7-8. I was wondering if I could see most of turn 4 during the race?

You should be able to see the exit of turn 4… not sure you’ll be able to see “most of” turn 4. The issue is a combination of the fencing and the distance.

What is the best way to get track on race morning if I was coming from N Michigan Rd and Depauw Blvd? I also have a parking pass at the Main Gate lot.

If you have a parking pass, it may have come with instructions for which route to take. I come from a different direction so I don’t really have any good advice for avoiding traffic on that side of town. Generally speaking, you might do better by taking side streets and staying off the interstates (especially on the west side with all of the construction). But once you start to get near the track things get crazy anyway and you just have to be patient. The best advice is really just to leave early and don’t stress about it. The city has been getting people in and out of the Speedway for 100 years and overall they are really quite good at it.

Paul,
I just bought Paddock tix in row RR. The site wouldn’t tell me much but for TT and UU they said they were in the shade so we assumed RR isn’t. Do you know if these are seats that get sun or are in the shade? We want to see the fly over and are worried we won’t! Help!

Chris- Row RR will be in the shade. If you really want to see the flyover, you might be able hang around an open area for a while and then go to your seats after the flyover. The Yellow Shirts (security) will probably try to keep you moving, so you might have to wander aimlessly a little bit. Or they might not… sometimes if you tell them what you’re up to they’ll help you out if they can… depends on their mood. Have a great time!

Paul
Where does the roof overhang start in the paddock boxes? In other words, how many rows back does one need to be to be under roof?
thanks!

we have paddock box 47 row N and are bringing 2 small children- does anyone know if our seats will be in shade and seats have backs? any other knowledge of these seats would be very helpful- thx!

MAB- The Paddock Boxes are not covered, except for the last few rows. They are the lowest/closest to the track. The Paddock Sections (higher) are all covered. In the afternoon you might get some shade in the Boxes as the sun heads west, depending on your row.

raceready- All seats in the Paddock have seat backs, but row N will probably not have shade until mid-afternoon… hard to say when exactly. Plan for sun and you’ll be all set either way. Don’t forget hearing protection for the kids and yourself.

will do, thanks so much!!

The advice you gave earlier for our seats was right on. We had a great view and loved the race. Thank you for this site. It’s incredibly helpful. The shade was definately worth not seeing the ballons go up.

Hi - my husband and I are planning a trip to next year’s Indy 500. He wants to sit along the front straight, and while I realize this is a section-specific forum, can anyone suggest a good section that’s preferably covered and has a good view? I know for NASCAR the higher up you are the better. I’m also trying to score isle seats, tough, I know. Not too concerned about the cost. Thanks very much!

cm0024- If you’re really not concerned about the cost, penthouse seats in the Paddock or A/B/E Stand would be the way to go. The front rows may have some sun in the morning but will get shaded as the sun moves west. They all have a great view… E Stand is technically in turn one but it’s considered to be the best view at the Speedway. Your search for aisle seats might be tough… you might want to also consider seats that are close to the aisle. You will almost certainly have to go secondary-market (ticket brokers, etc) to find the seats you want… TicketsNow already has the 2012 race listed. If you want to save some money you could consider seats on the lower level of the previously mentioned stands but you’d need to be careful to get something in the mid to upper rows. Good luck!

I have been sitting in the front row, Start/Finish (Paddock Section 22), for many years but the 2011 500 was the last straw. I’ve requested a change for next year. There is also wheelchair seating in this section and other spectators have no respect for these individuals. They come down to the rail and block the view. Security does nothing. Every year I’ve sat there has been nothing but a hassle.

have paddock seats vv are thay any good

Please some tell me if PAD BX SECTION B62 ROW Q SEATS 1 AND 2 ARE GOOD OR BAD

Paul, I’ve attended several 500’s over the years but never in the Paddock Press Penthouse. Can you tell me what you assessment is of the viewing angles from Box 33 Row B Seat 11? I’m just happy to try a new place on the track. Can you see pretty well most of the pits and about how far is it to see the start/finish? Thanks for your comments very helpful!

looking at tickets for indy 500 for 2012, can anyone shed some light on seating, we r looking at paddock box section b10 row h seats 7&8, r they any good for actually seeing the race or is this just the pit area and a brick wall…thanks

Anyone know about B07 rows G and H. I have 10 tickets in this area. I have not found a decent seating map to see exactly where these are located. If you have knowledge please pass it along. Thanks.
