I don't get it and it makes zero sense to me. I thought SX futures was about SX? Why have the first rounds at a non supercross event? Makes no sense to me.

Those aren't "rounds" those are the qualifiers to get to that Supercross region. No idea why they would be at MX tracks though other than to just weed out the slower riders so only the "fast 22" are at the actual SX.

It's proven to be very popular - so, rather than back up the stadiums with oversized crowds, let's follow the LL model and have areas (Primary), regionals (Premiere) and then the Final.
More opportunity to see Benjamin.

Was expensive to do before.. now they just added a whole nother race fee before you even get to ride a stadium..

Money grab.. disappointed because I really wanted to ride one.
