Been to both and Texas is much better for the experience. I agree with everything Supechuck has already stated. I've had seats just about everywhere except the backstretch. Lower rows in the upper section are the best, closer to the S/F line, the better. Parking is free and never an issue if you get there early enough. We would take a grill and tailgate after the race. Once we finished eating and packed up, traffic getting out was a breeze.
