Package options for solo travelers or Plan it Yourself (1st trip to the 500)

My family is giving me a trip to the 2027 Indy 500, and I am trying to decide if it would be better to get a package with hotels, tickets and ground transportation, or plan it all myself. Nearly every package I find is "double occupancy" and solo prices are crazy expensive. Any tips on how to get there, get to/from the speedway etc. would be helpful. One option I am seeing is stay at a hotel with a free airport shuttle, and take that back to the airport to ride the IMS shuttle busses which look like $50 r/t.

Begging for help

So I bought this hat at Indianapolis motor speedway in 2022. It’s been my favorite hat for years and I’ve been trying for the past month to find another one exactly the same as this one is getting worn out. Everything I’ve found is saying that it was a limited edition release. Now I’m going onto Reddit to try and find someone that has one that would be willing to sell it. If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it.

Old Indy 500 Program with signatures

I'm not quite sure what to do with this and - as I've found with most things - Reddit always has an answer. I visited the Indy 500 speedway in 1983 when I was a kid - we had family living in Indianapolis. During time trials and I remember sitting in the infield bleachers watching cars fly around the track. We saw some drivers giving autographs so I ran down with this program and got a few. I'm not entirely sure who all signed - one looks to be Bobby Unser Jr, and another John Paul (jr?). I kept it all these years but I'm not a race fan (sorry). Not sure it has much value.
