I've probably visited Taj-Muncie more often than most here. If I'm not mistaken only one or possilby two local clubs uses the grounds on a regular basis as their local flying site. My perception over the last 20 years has been that there's hardly ever a soul around, I mean if you causally drive though the grounds when there's no contest going on. No one has ever approached me or asked for my AMA number, not unless I first stopped at the museum. So it's pretty much an open campus and with rather low security at that. I must have visited there at least 4 times back when they were still hosting the Extreme Flight Championships. Even during that event, you would scarcely ever see visiting AMA members out flying after the scheduled hours of that event. XFC was a fairly well attended RC spectator event for a few years, and then it just seemed to loose it's appeal about the same time that Youtube came on the scene. Apparently not too many folks were willing to drive across the country when they could watch most of the highlights from the comfort of their homes. In that regard I believe Franklin is correct when he says the general folks in this hobby approach it very causally today. It's simply no longer a big exciting deal to drive across the country to watch the worlds greatest RC pilots. Towards the end of the XFC run it was mostly family of the competitors along with a very small sampling of unrelated fans that would make the trip. It's sad in a way, but that's the reality of the high tech media world we live in.
