Cyclocross is so popular in Reno that potential fans will be required to pay to watch mostly amateurs race on balmy December days? Some of those funds will go to ribbons 10 deep maybe? I hope some of our locals get some of those ribbons! Or is that just a Nevada thing? I hope it is actually FREE.
We all know there are costs to put this on, but admission charge is one more barrier to the general public gaining knowledge of the sport. What would crowd size be at the Crusade races at Alpenrose, Bend, or PIR; if people showing up to watch were asked to fork over $5....not just for parking....but to watch?
Would that change the OBRA vibe?

I think there might be an entry fee since I saw that they were providing tickets to team who purchase tent space. There also was a post on Facebook showing where all the speakers where going to be set up.

Does anyone know anything about the situation for spectators at Nats? I live close enough to Reno now that it may be worth the trip just to watch.
