Last week's IndyCar event at Road America demonstrates that Open Wheel Racing in Wisconsin (and the Midwest) is alive and well !!! The Mile is too important to allow it to just fade away. A well organized sponsor is needed ... If you find one, they (fans) will come!!! RA proved that ...

The slide started when they would not let you drive to the infield, therefore no tailgating. I long for the 70's and 80's. Watch some youtube videos of those races, the infield was full to capacity.

Don't let the mile die,I didn't miss a race in the 60s.
My daughter saw her 1st Indy race her at the mile.
Went to most of the races through the years.
It was Milwaukee after Indy

The Milwaukee mile is a part of racing history and to lose it would be a shame if they are selling it off bit by bit just because it doesn't fit into their profit margins or what they define as profitable then mabye they are the problem and not the track itself in today's world all aspects of auto racing have become more competitive what they need to do is hire someone who knows how to promote auto racing and the tracks they race at its no longer good enough to have the fairgrounds do the promotion you have to have a professional at auto racing promotion and marketing in order to be competitive
And to the people that live nearby the track that whine and complain about the noise why the heck did you move in next door to an AUTO RACETRACK in the first place??? That's like moving in next door to an international airport and complaining about the jet airline passenger planes flying overhead at all hours of the day and night waking you up.....duh really?

The mile is a historic landmark. To those folks complaining about noise: Races were held every summer at least 50 years before you moved in. If you didn't benefit from lower real estate prices then complain to your agent, not us.

Protect the mile as a state park or something like that.
Also, protect the mile as a Federally protected U.S. Historic site.
Call Jaye Frye head of Indy Car and tell him to get Milwaukee on the schedule the week after Indy returning it to it's rightful historic place. 317-492-8500

Get rid of it! The noise is annoying , stressful and unhealthy to the people that live in the neighborhood. The stress it causes the citizens of West Allis that live near to the track is unfair! Every weekend now there's screeching tires, engine noise for hours!! It's going on as i write this on a Thursday afternoon at 4:30pm. The tire testing is unpredictable, it can go on past 5pm, any day of the week.The events are rarely attended, and its in debt and is not worth keeping. In order for it to be profitable it would require more tire testing and races and we already have had enough of this God forsaken noise! It is awful! Why should the few race car fans have more importance than the people that live here, day ??Please, get rid of it!!

The Wisconsin State Fair Board is making a Big Mistake by trying to get rid of The Milwaukee Mile. Those Bleachers that they are selling off were just put in within the Last 10 to 15 Years. It cost The Milwaukee County Tax Payers a lot of money to put them in along with the lighting & other utilities. Apparently The Wisconsin State Fair Park Board don't care about wasting The Tax Payer's Money. In Fact it seems clear that The Board only cares about Money as it is. I have been going to The Wisconsin State Fair & The Milwaukee Mile for many Years Now. I always enjoy going too. It means a lot to the People who grew up with Racing at The Milwaukee Mile. Instead of getting rid of The Milwaukee Mile... how about Firing The Entire Wisconsin State Fair Park Board. That will solve a lot more problems because it is also clear that The Board has No interest in bringing NASCAR or other serious racing back to The Milwaukee Mile... if they did, we would have the Racing back here. I will say one thing... if they get rid of The Milwaukee Mile, I will Boycott The Wisconsin State Fair & all Events that are held at The Wisconsin State Fair Park Grounds. I encourage other people to do the same. Then they will see how much money that they are really losing. Believe me The Wisconsin State Fair Park makes Millions & Millions of Dollars every Years from The Fair alone, not counting other events held there. Every year they advertise it on the News at the close of The Fair. They could take some of this money to help out with The Milwaukee Mile if there are having Financial Issues which I don't believe that there are. I think that The Board is just Greedy for Money as usual & they want to make a quick buck by getting rid of The Milwaukee Mile. As a Life Long Resident of Wisconsin Born & Raised, this is what makes Wisconsin a Bad State too. It clearly shows just how the State Officials & People like this are Greedy & Corrupt. If The Board really wants to bring NASCAR & other serious Racing back to The Milwaukee Mile, then they need to get off their butts & get NASCAR & other Promoters involved. Save The Milwaukee Mile.

History isn't the only reason to hold onto the 'mile.

Me and my family had attended every Nascar Busch race from the early 90's up to the date when they cancelled them. My father and uncle have been going since the 70s. Every year we made reasons to go to the track. It's not only a piece of Wisconsin history, its in the history of Nascar and indy. Do not shut down this fine establishment.

We cannot lose any more race tracks in Wisconsinin. Lake Geneva closed in 2006. The track was destroyed remains undeveloped. Columbus is closed also. The Milwaukee Mile should be saved. Madison international is doing well after poor attendance for years. New leadership and creative marketing is needed. How can Walker save the Bucks and let an Historic track fade away
Bring back the ARCA Midwest and super late models. It's too bad that Xfinity and Indy car left.

Gotta get Nascar and Indy to come, motorcycles/horse races would be cool if possible. Build up the facility to allow these to happen and think of the racing and revenue coming into Milwaukee/West Allis for a few weekends in the summertime...
There is too much great history in this track to let it go. A track nowadays with 35,000 seats is perfect for a nascar cup race, or at least xfinity, trucks, or indy car. #SaveTheMile
