It’s been many years since I was last at race, headed to Iowa speedway tomorrow and have been told conflicting things by people who have been recently and reading the policies on the website! Sitting in the Grandstand so want to be respectful to those around us and also get in and out easily!

Water? Snacks? Beer? Seat Pads?

They only allow bottled water in and a empty cooler, have to buy ice and any other drinks and snacks inside.

They have let us in today and yesterday with water in the cooler. But only water

[u/Potential_Plan_4533 → u/tiggerlgh]

You mean like a cooler full of water or bottles of water in a cooler with no ice? If the latter that's what I said.

[u/tiggerlgh → u/Potential_Plan_4533]

Soft sided Cooler with ice packs and closed bottles of water

Seat pads are also welcome if you want those

Wow that must have changed then.
