This feels like the level of dominance in a somewhat niche sport that warrants some type of WSJ profile.

Seems like plenty of seats available. And thats with no seating 2/3 around the track. Maybe it's just too hard to travel to or the hotels are too expensive? If it was just somewhere better, it would be packed, right?

Trying to put myself into the shoes of a casual track fan, or someone who might just turn this on to see what’s happening.
On the broadcast, there’s no new action until 20 minutes into it, and then no running finals until 53 minutes in. The field events simply do not translate well to TV versus in-person excitement. I can’t see how any non-hardcore fan would even want to watch this, and would probably assume its not going to get any better.

Embarrassing. It's in frigg'in NYC.

Agreed, ocean breeze is an awesome facility but for a US champs meet armory is a much better venue if it's NYC area

Was just coming here to say something like this. We've seen ~30s of running in the 1st 40min of the tv window. Even by the end of the meet, it'll be more commercial time versus running time (or at least pretty close). & they're not interested in making continuous running events excited. I've never seen a 3k or 5k where they stay on it the whole time, building up the drama, until the race is decided. So many people run in HS & so many people don't watch professional track. I totally understand why. The action isn't constant, it's hard to follow without watching the same athletes compete week after week in the same or similar time slots. I'm a big fan of the sport &, honestly, this meet wasn't on my radar. No coverage yesterday for day 1. Every 4 years we go through the same pattern. There's a ton of momentum from the Olympics & then we immediately drop the ball.

There are no casual fans, we are all in deep.
