    I think Alliant sub-contracts the food and beverage out. Also Alliant is just the name on the front of the building. It is Dane county that runs the place. I’ll also bet Frank productions got there hand in the till too. Five bucks to park is cheap and thirteen bucks to get in to a National event is good also.

    The cars will always show up, it is getting to people at the gate is where the money is made. I heard they were happy with the gate. :)

    It would be nice to know the restaurants they own, I will spread the word not to patronize them.

    I can think of one for sure, I will not mention any names but I hear it sells Gyros on State St. Rumors have it that they would not let anyone park there cars in front of the place last year during the Cars on State St. show…

    Geeze it all sounds Greek to me.. :doh: I am sure there are plenty of other car friendly places we can eat at. Beef O’ Brady’s in Sun Prairie comes to mind. At least it owned by a friendly car guy. Or Culvers on Tuesday nights.
