With that in mind, Supercross will host four SuperTuesday races, one in each of the host cities—Houston, Indianapolis, Glendale and Arlington, a first in the sport's 48-year history. The season finale will take place at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City as the Utah Sports Commission—a long-time Su- percross partner, is once again eager to host the season's final event and championship wrap up with fans in attendance. "AMA Supercross is among the most exciting motorcycle racing on the planet, and the AMA is pleased to join Feld Entertainment and the FIM in announcing the start of the 2021 season," said AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman. "In 2020, Feld Entertainment, the AMA and all our partners, and of course the racers and teams, worked tirelessly and innova- tively to crown champions amid a global pandemic. The lessons learned will guide the manage- ment team as it delivers another incredible season of racing, while ensuring that all Covid-19 precautions are met and fans get the show that they have come to expect from AMA Supercross." Tickets for the first 12 rounds will go on sale to the general public on Tuesday, December 8. Preferred customers can sign up in advance for early access to purchase tickets a week prior, starting Tuesday, December 1, by visiting SupercrossLIVE.com.
