Grand
Prix to
welcome
additional
fans in
2021
under
the new
state
guideline
for
outdoor
events
in
Michigan,
A few
thousand
additional
tickets
for each
day to
go on
sale May
24.
DETROIT,
MI - As
a result
of
Thursday’s
announcement
lifting
the
restrictions
on
outdoor
seating
capacity
in the
State of
Michigan
on June
1, the
Chevrolet
Detroit
Grand
Prix
presented
by Lear
will
welcome
full
seating
in its
grandstands
for race
weekend
on Belle
Isle,
June
11-13.
Following
the
previous
state
and
local
health
and
safety
protocols,
the
Grand
Prix had
planned
for
socially-distanced
seating
for next
month’s
event,
reducing
its
grandstand
capacity
to
approximately
20%.
With the
new
guidelines
allowing
for full
attendance
at
outdoor
venues
beginning
in June,
the
Grand
Prix
will now
be able
to
accommodate
seating
for a
few
thousand
more
fans in
its
grandstands
for each
day of
the
Friday-Sunday
event.
The
additional
reserved
grandstand
seats
will go
on sale
on
Monday,
May 24
and will
be
available
for
online
purchase
only at
www.DetroitGP.com/tickets.
Thursday’s
announcement
came at
a great
time for
Grand
Prix
fans as
virtually
all of
the
socially-spaced
reserved
grandstand
seating
had been
sold for
this
year’s
event.
Fans can
still
purchase
general
admission
tickets
now at
www.DetroitGP.com,
while
the
additional
reserved
grandstand
seats
will be
placed
on sale
next
Monday.
All
previously
purchased
ticket
sales
are
considered
final.
“We are
so
excited
that we
will be
able to
welcome
more
fans
back to
Belle
Isle to
experience
the
Grand
Prix
June
11-13
with the
restrictions
on
outdoor
venues
being
lifted
in the
State of
Michigan,”
said
Michael
Montri,
President
of the
Chevrolet
Detroit
Grand
Prix
presented
by Lear.
“With
vaccinations
continuing
and
positivity
rates
improving
across
the
state,
this is
another
strong
indication
that we
are
moving
in a
positive
direction
in
Michigan.”
The
Grand
Prix
will
continue
to
follow
the
current
health
and
safety
guidelines
in place
in
Michigan
and
total
attendance
will
still be
reduced
in 2021
as
organizers
remain
focused
on
hosting
a safe
and
entertaining
event
this
summer.
“Our top
priority
has
always
been to
provide
a safe
and fun
experience
on Belle
Isle for
our
fans,”
added
Montri.
“As we
followed
the
protocols
that
were in
place
throughout
our
planning,
and with
the
build
out for
the
Grand
Prix
entering
its
final
stages,
many of
the fan
activities
and
attractions
that
were
featured
at our
event in
the past
– like
live
music –
will not
be
included
in 2021.
We have
heard
from
many of
our fans
that are
looking
forward
to being
back on
Belle
Isle to
enjoy a
world-class
event
and we
are so
excited
to
provide
that
opportunity
to a few
thousand
more
fans
each day
at the
Grand
Prix.
With
displays
from
Chevrolet,
Cadillac,
Firestone
and
others,
new
general
admission
viewing
areas
for fans
to enjoy
and
exciting
racing
with
INDYCAR,
IMSA –
including
the
return
of
Corvette
Racing –
and Indy
Lights,
it’s
going to
be a
great
weekend
on Belle
Isle!”
