You can tell how attendance will be by the hotel cancellations and the plummeting ticket prices. Many of those that reserved hotel rooms are now cancelling them as the free cancelation window closes, so there are now a bunch of available rooms where just a week ago, there were very few. Also tickets are $15 for the same seats that people paid $50-$100 for in March.
Can't forget what has become of the city itself. People living in tents at all open greenspace in drug induced zombie haze. Restaurants that can't handle the traffic. Used to be magical, now like a post apocalyptic movie.

Pretty sad.
There is no start list yet. I would cancel too. Planning a trip to see an event with “surprise” participants.
I wonder what basketball team will be there tonight? I hope that it will at least be an NBA team, not a WNBA team. It’s silly. By now pretty much every athlete has flown in. There is zero reason not to issue the preliminary start list. Of course one or two athletes can cancel because of injury or I’ll was at the last second, but fans should know. You can also do minor changes to the list daily. That’s also fine.

While I agree that it's ridiculous that there aren't start lists yet, since this is a meet for the athletes that have the most amount of Diamond League points you already have a pretty good idea who will be there.

Interesting.. We were just there last weekend and watched the Brussels meet live on a massive screen in an outdoor shopping mall area. "apocalyptic" never came to mind.. But carry on with your painting the picture you wish others to see.

Just want to know if Wiley is running. Otherwise I am canceling. She is turning into one of top draws for Americans.
Spin that how you want but ScR, Gabby Thomas, the Jamaicans, Jakob, Faith, Femke, Keely, and so many others are much bigger draws than Wiley.
I consider myself to be an ardent fan of the sport and the only way that I am going to even remotely interested in Wiley is if she totally dissociates from Huntington and the Johnsons. Until then, I couldn't care less about her or what she does.
Are you guys nuts? Jakob is DOUBLING in a Diamond League Final. How is that not enough for you. Oh, Sha'carri Richardson and Noah Lyles are both racing. What exactly do you want to see? Femke? She'll be there.
And if the ticket prices are dropping, that is fine/normal. Now is a good time to scoop them up. Take the family! With all the hotel cancellations you speak of, there will be cheap rooms too...
