$2 million in economic impact<\/a>, activating more than 36 acres across the Entertainment District.<\/p>\n\u201cBasically the entire entertainment district becomes the venue,\u201d Miller said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s pretty exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n
Feeding the anticipated crowd of roughly 80,000 fans over the weekend will be a logistical effort of its own.<\/p>\n
Chefs with Legends Hospitality at AT&T Stadium are preparing to operate satellite kitchens along the course, serving food at the concession stands and suites.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re going to be cooking, serving just like we do here in the stadium, but it\u2019s going to be completely outside,\u201d said Chef Marcelo Vasquez.<\/p>\n
Local restaurants are also partnering and preparing. North Texas staples including Hurtado BBQ, Prince Lebanese Grill and Knight\u2019s Out are expected to serve racegoers, giving the international event a local flavor.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is exciting,\u201d Vasquez said. \u201cIt\u2019s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n
With weeks to go before engines fire, the pace of preparation mirrors what fans can expect on race weekend.<\/p>\n
