Facility Notes

In St. Louis, Bernie Miklasz writes given the "wheeling, dealing and conniving that takes place in the NFL," it is possible for Rams Owner Stan Kroenke to entice the Raiders or Chargers to join him at his proposed new stadium in Inglewood, Calif. It is strongly believed that Kroenke "would like to have the only team in the LA market." But having a tenant and second NFL team in his complex "presumably would be preferable to getting shut out" of L.A. altogether (ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, 5/1).

LESS NEED FOR SPEED: SMI execs on Wednesday suggested that they "might reduce seating capacity at some of their facilities." SMI "reduced seating capacity last year by 41,000 at Charlotte Motor Speedway and 17,000 at Atlanta Motor Speedway." When asked during a conference call with investor analysts about any further reductions, SMI hinted that more "could be made." SMI VP, CFO & Treasurer William Brooks and CEO Marcus Smith both declined to name "any tracks that could face a reduction in seating capacity" (NBCSPORTS.com, 4/29).
