What to know about rules, what not to bring

The 105th running of the Indianapolis 500  is one of celebrated returns and a few lingering omissions.

Still absent this year are classic rock bands hitting the stage at Carb Day and the Snake Pit sending EDM bass drops throughout Indianapolis Motor Speedway come Sunday.

But with an estimated 135,000 fans in attendance, it will be the nation’s largest live sporting event in more than a year.

Also back is camping. From relaxing in the temperature controlled comfort of a fully loaded RV, to pitching a tent in the Coke Lot, here’s what you need to know about camping at IMS in 2021.

Campers filled the Coke Lot in May 2000.
