Hey guys. So my son was recently diagnosed with leukemia which has us staying at Primary Children's hospital with a perfect view of the stadium where the supercross races are taking place. He watched the day race today and asked where the fireworks were. So I told him that I'd double check with those in the know but assumed no fans=no fireworks. He also said that if anyone wanted to say hi while they are in town to let me know. He also wanted to make sure that you know that he just passed his third Covid test yesterday (he's 5 so that's important to him.) He's new to the sport but loving it so far! When I told him that what was on TV was also right out his window it blew his little mind!
Second I have no idea but I’d guess the same no crowed no fireworks.
Third I’m not in the country let alone town but if you pm me an address I’d love to send the little man a post card from down under let him know people all over the world care....
Best wishes to you from Australia.
The remaining seven rounds of 2020 Monster Energy Supercross will be held without fans, much to the dismay of those who live close to Utah. There is still a way to get your face in the stands though! Feld Entertainment are introducing a concept that enables the world's biggest superfans to have a presence at Rice Eccles Stadium. There is a catch though: You will just be on a bit of cardboard.
To find out how to get your face in the stands, visit THIS link for more. You will be granted exclusive access to some special online content as well, by showing your support. If you get involved then a custom-created poster of you will be positioned in a stadium seat at the final seven rounds of 2020 Monster Energy Supercross. You'll then have a chance to be featured as a superfan on NBC Sports, NBC Sports Gold, Supercross Live, social media and more platforms. There will be some exclusive conference calls from behind the scenes in Utah too. All good stuff!
You have to submit a photo on the link above to get involved, so it is really quite simple. It is effectively a chance to be a part of history, as the COVID-19 era of Monster Energy Supercross will be referenced for years to come. It is actually going to be quite interesting to see how many cardboard cutouts are put up into the stands at Rice Eccles Stadium. Imagine if it is full?
He will be in my thoughts and prayers for the rest of SX in SLC
God bless

Fireworks require a specialist pyro crew that are otherwise surplus to the racing.
All the best!
That leaves us with racing, which thankfully, has been pretty good.
How much are the cut outs ? lets over load it with his image.
Email me at info@viralmoto.com. We’d love to send the little dude a Viral Moto package! Don’t have any youth sizes right now but we’ll get something together to hopefully help keep his spirits high! Also if anyone does get the little dude a cardboard fan picture let me know and I will pass it along to DB to see if he can do anything! Crazy times we are in right now, would love to help put a smile on someone’s face!
How many spots? I'm not sure. Here's a partial pic from one of the earlier rounds.
You can see it in the background here.

Get well soon
Got an address where we can send him get well cards or anything?
All the best to your little one and you and your family.
Add me to list of those that would like to send something to Collin. A buddy of mine invented a toy and wrote a book to go with it, and Collin is the perfect age for it (it is Tooth Fairy related; kids typically start losing teeth around 5-6.) He has donated them to children's hospitals in the past, but I'll buy one to send to you to support both him and you guys.
Please know that you're not putting anyone out. It's about supporting Collin (and your whole fam) during his fight. I think I speak for a lot of us when I say that giving him reasons to smile and feel special are worth way more than than a few dollars.
