I can't answer for Levy Restaurants at Banker's Life, but I "worked" for them as a non-profit fundraiser out in Seattle at Cheney Stadium, Key Arena, and CenturyLink Field before they lost that contract.

So many NPOs were threatening to leave after DNC took over that they did agree to increase our minimum payout and increase our percentages to be closer to what Levy had offered us.

After the Speedway accepts the winning bid, new security restrictions will be put in place that ban all outside refreshments and lunches. For a single day crowd of 400,000, I would expect the winning bidder to promise the speedway between 5 and 20 dollars per head for exclusive concession rights. We are talking about a captive audience that is inside the track for between 4 to 6 hours.

when did you become concerned about
local nfp volunteers such as a high school band booster club or kiwanis club or little league boosters who work these kind of events?
