They went from "no press facility" to having the best one on the tour (IMHO) and the rest of the improvements are also top-calibre. In usual Bader fashion, they have settled for nothing but the best and the place looks even better than before (and that's saying a lot). A couple things are still finished (like the elevator to race control) but will be done before the national event and the place definitely does not look like your typical construction zone. And the ice cream is still a pound for a buck.
Spectator tickets for the national event are going fast and the grandstands will likely be all-reserved before long.
Crowd yesterday for the divisional race was 8,000-10,000, the stands about a third full for the late session. And that was with cloudy, cool weather and occasional sprinkles. High yesterday was 64 - it's already warmer than that today.
