The ticket price increases for the IndyCar race are HEFTY. And no option for free children's admittance.

I have a feeling those shopping that section would definitely use the self-checkout. Pun intended.

Zac would be the only act to see though Carrie is really easy on the eyes.

I went to my local HyVee a few days ago and saw they pulled the growler filling station. I knew it was closed because of COVID but they actually pulled the machines. Weird. Every time I went it was busy.
Growlers have died out everywhere. It went from 22oz bombers, to growlers, to crowlers, and now 4 pack cans. I have a super nice cgrowler sitting in the back of my car that hasn't been used in a few years. Kum and Go was also big into growlers for awhile.

How much? Kinda interested.

Overall, not terrible if you're into the musical acts and want to see the race. Personally I'm just there for the racing as a big IndyCar fan, but I know I'm not Hy-Vee's target demo here. But depending on where people's seats were last year, it's at least a 50% increase for the weekend.

Last year they had flex tickets for ~$100/day where you didn't have a reserved seat but there were sections open first come, first served. Plenty of room. With those tickets you could bring children 15 & under for free (which is fairly common at racing venues). They axed those flex tickets this year from my understanding.

Not exactly sure.
100 for a day isn’t bad since I haven’t been there and would want the concerts. Who performs what day, do you know. And thanks for the info.

I saw Jeremy Gosch at a Drake basketball game last week. I still can't believe he is CEO of Hy-Vee. Seemed like a fine guy when I worked him but just so blah.

Testifying
We found him and he’s just right down the street from where he went missing!
His "abduction/disappearance" was a threat my parents would utilize on me if I was out late as a kid. Then I saw the movie BIG and clapped back at them.

I'm not sure anything can be believed on this site but it sounds like there is more craziness going on.
