Indy MotoGP spectators?

I don't know who the broadcaster was was but did anyone else notice the near empty grandstands? Any idea why? Is there just too much motor sport there that spectators don't go to see the worlds best riders? Compared to other venues in the calender the Indy meeting seemed to have been snubbed.

    It was only empty because it was Indy.

    Over the weekend there was 130K people through the gates. Thats only 5% below the average.

    64K on Sunday its self. Thats about 15% down on average.

    The trouble is Indy was build to hold 430K Nasca fans. So even though it looked empty it was not.

    If it has been a "normal" bike racing track like say Valencia, they would have been overflowing.
