Preposterous.
I will probably e censured, but here goes,

Look at the facts. Why would indy need more parking, when they cannot fill the seats thay have?

The improvements have not been for the 500, but the F1 race.

Everyone,(except you, it seems), is aware that the 500 is in a tailspin, and even tg is, if you take these reports as credible, worried about the future of the 500, and the irl. Why else would he even be entertaining the notion of a merger?
