You'd get parking right under the grandstands, track access, VIP air conditioned booth, TV, catering, etc. for the whole weekend. It was perfect since the race was in the summer it was always hotter then hell, so you could dip inside for a bit and cool off while watching the race on TV.
I can't imagine what a package like that would cost for Miami now, like $10k? No thanks, we'll just watch it on TV. The sound that made F1 so special is long gone anyway, that was the big reason we went in person.

US is fickle, next year could be a dud. Short attention span coupled with other options tend to burn hot and fade rather quickly for the Yanks.
