Fans Sound Off On “Trainwreck” MLB Speedway Classic, With Long Lines, Concession Stands Running Out Of Food Before The Game Was Ultimately Postponed

Not exactly what the MLB had in mind for their first ever game at a NASCAR track.

The Cincinnati Reds and the Atlanta Braves are facing off today at Bristol Motor Speedway for the first ever MLB Speedway Classic, a baseball game held in the infield of the iconic racetrack in Tennessee.

To build the playing surface, garages in the infield of the speedway had to be torn down to make room for what would eventually become the outfield, and several tons of gravel were brought in to serve as the base of the field, which was then covered by Astroturf in addition to the traditional dirt infield.

Honestly, the whole thing looks pretty insane, seeing a baseball field being built inside of Bristol, which has 146,000 seats.
