2021 INDIANAPOLIS SUPERCROSS 3 PRE-RACE REPORT: WE’RE BACK ON LIVE TV, THANKFULLY
2021 INDIANAPOLIS SUPERCROSS 3 PRE-RACE REPORT: WE’RE BACK ON LIVE TV, THANKFULLY
The 2021 Indianapolis Supercross 3 is almost here and after only two and a half weeks, we’ve already completed five Rounds of the 2021 Monster Energy Supercross season. The third Round of the Indianapolis triple-header is set to go this Saturday, February 6th, inside of the Lucas Oil Stadium. We’ve now seen two different tracks in Indy, the first one being a more technical track with slower speeds and the second one being a faster track with a little less traction. But, even with new tracks, the same winners have prevailed at both events at Indy thus far. Ken Roczen has been dominant at Indy in the 450 class and Colt Nichols has stayed consistent and won both 250 Main Events as well. These two point leaders head into Round six as the favorites, but it won’t be easy for them. In MXA’s Indy #3 Pre-Race Report, we added the NBC Sports Network TV schedule and Peacock TV online streaming times for qualifying and the night show. We also added the track map, the current 250 and 450 point standings, information about the POD seating structure and some insight to the viewership numbers Supercross got last weekend for Round 4 of the season.

SUPERCROSS RELEASES TV AUDIENCE NUMBERS
We don’t usually get the data on how many people watched Supercross on the NBC Sports Network. Apparently Round 4 on Saturday was a big one for Supercross with a peak audience of 506,000 viewers on the NBCSN channel Saturday evening and 877,000 viewers when the show re-aired on the premier NBC channel Sunday.
FELD Entertainment press release: Indianapolis, Ind., (February 4, 2021) Round 4 of the Monster Energy Supercross series, held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind., drew an average of 320K total viewers and a peak audience of 506K, the fourth best delivery on NBCSN since last year’s Round 10 race at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla.
The following day re-air on NBC drew and even more impressive audience, delivering 877K total viewers as the “most-watched”, in-season Supercross telecast (live or re-air) dating back to 2004’s season opener. NBC ranked #7 (out of 137) in the time-period among all broadcast and cable networks with Men 25-54.
IN-PERSON VIEWING INFORMATION: “POD SEATING” STRATEGY
Here’s a view of the spaced out style seating we’ve seen so far this season.
Via Supercrosslive.com: Based on government orders, public health advisories, and fan wellness protocols developed by Monster Energy Supercross in conjunction with venues, seating capacity will be reduced for upcoming events and tickets will be available for sale in pre-determined “pods” of seats. Pods will be physically distanced from one another.
Pod Seating must be purchased in their entirety and may not be divided. All tickets within a pod must be shared by people who have chosen to attend together. Sitting in any seat outside of your Pod Seating is not permitted. All pods are subject to availability. Each transaction may be subject to a pod limit and/or ticket limit at the time of purchase.
All fans age 2 and older are required to have a ticket. Unless otherwise exempted by law, guests must wear a face-covering except when actively eating and drinking. Violation of ticketing policies will void your tickets.
