I also think that if you lowered concession stand prices, you would see a neglible impact on attendence and handle. There are much bigger issues and more global issues that have more priority in the industry and sport.
As much as the die-hard, hard-core, etc. gamblers will be up in arms -- today's racetrack and the product they put forth, or lack thereof, is in competition with many other things.

go to calder, parking is $2 and admission is $2. You can park at saratoga for free and enter for $3. Still cheaper than parking and going into freaking Calder!!
the concessions are not bad, compared to any sporting event you go to (ok I will admit, beer prices are unreal, BUT, you can bring your own beer, water, sandwiches, soda, pizza, homemade meatloaf, pie, salad, penne, lasagna, etc. ANY Day, as long as the beer isnt in bottles).
By the way, I agree with your post besides the first sentence. |
