The upcoming Formula 1 race and Eminem concert in Texas will be the biggest weekend ever for sports entertainment, says the F1 official.
Taking place at Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas, Eminem will hit the stage on October 19, just on the big race weekend.
COTA’s chairman, Bobby Epstein, shared the excitement in an interview with ESPN:
We’re expecting another big crowd, probably it’s somewhere in the region of where it’s been the last couple years. I would think whatever the record is for a Saturday Sprint race, we should shatter that record because Eminem has outsold Taylor Swift, and we’ve increased the size of the infield lawn to get to near 100,000 for the concert. I think whatever amount people they’ve had on Sprint races before, 130,000 to 150,000 people will be there for this year’s Saturday Sprint race, and it’s going to be an incredible Saturday. We think it is the biggest weekend ever for sports entertainment, and we’re billing it as such.
Between Eminem’s epic performance and the battle on the track between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris, fans are in for a massive treat.
So whether people are there for the fast cars or the fast rhymes, this is a weekend they will not forget.
