I think this idea is fine. We have stadiums with running tracks around the field all over the planet, especially in soccer countries.

Oh and its 40 million thats a pretty good deal.

I am sure the tards that think someone elses money is expendable, will say stupid stuff like, ‘hey why dont they just build it next door?” Sure genius that 60 acres sitting under that stadium would be free right??

We have come a long way since Columbus and its been a few years too. These days Lamar Hunt wouldnt be able to build a stadium like that for anything less than 30-32 million. MINIMUM

For $40 million couldn’t they just build a decent soccer-specific stadium right next door? Why do they have to get all kooky and try to incorporate it into a race track? Plus, you know they’re gonna name the team something stupid like Milwaukee Mufflers.

I would travel anywhere in the country to see a match played while a nascar race was going on in the same stadium at the same time.

As promised, here's some more on the plans at the pitch invasion blog. I was able to see the stadium plans and it's not as nutty as it first sounds, trust me.

You will often find traditional tracks (for track and field events) surrounding football fields at college campuses all over the country. The same stadium or field is used for football or track and field. Why can’t the same venue be used for soccer and auto racing?

From what I’m gathering there’s a bit more to this story, I’ll post another comment tomorrow. It’s not as bad an idea as it sounds.

If that fails they could always play games out on the airport tarmac.
