Event Permits Gone Bad

17 May 2023

From a story on a bike race in NY with 30 year history:

Floyd Bennett Field is one of the most longstanding, unique, beloved, accessible and diverse races available to New Yorkers.

…

In 2019, when the then race promoter went in search of the same permit, he was directed to Aviator Sports, instead of NPS, who quoted a price of $2,000 per race. What had once been a $150 permit, had now become a $34,000 endeavor for the race season, with seemingly no explanation.

This is why we can’t have nice things.
