All you can drink at Pimlico
 

From drf:
Pimlico to offer all-you-can-drink at Preakness

Glad I won't be in the infield

". There will also be a cornhole tournament among local bars":eek:

They are a few years too late. We had that promotion outside of a BBQ stand for opening weekend at Toga back in '07. F*cking 'eh what a 5 days that was. I got a hangover just thinking about it.

This will last one year. One.

Considering there were about eight people in the infield last year for Preakness, I can understand why they made the change. That being said, all you can drink for $20 sounds absolutely preposterous and, like the old bring all the beer you can carry rule, is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

I think it's a terrible idea. All I can think of is that drunk/deranged guy trying to throw a punch at a horse in the stretch.

Does racing really want/need fans that are just coming to the races to get bombed?

yes. It is a Preakness & college tradition.

I think every racing fan should go to a Preakness and walk out the same entrance as the infield revelers just to get a really good understanding of exactly what happens there.

Long refill lines. Limited supply of refill beer. Unmitigated disaster.

I can hear the excuses now...."We did not anticipate how popular this innovative promotion would be. We learned a lot from this experiment, and we vow to be better prepared in 2011 for the inaugural running of the Preakness at Gulfstream Park."

from no beer being brought in, to $20 all you can drink....makes perfect sense:rolleyes:

by the time people get to the front of the line, they might as well just go right back to the end of the line, people are gonna get rowdy when they realize its gonna take them 30 minutes for a refill

LOL what exactly is a cornhole tournament?

I'm guessing the "bikini" tournament will turn into some sort of Talladega-like infield strip show.

Oh, and featuring girls from Baltimore. Run for the hills!

Natty Bo, hon.

I wish all my hangouts were as innovative as Pimlico. :zz:

Will there be a tie-in between the bikini contest and the scavenger hunt?

O.A.R is a huge draw also, you put O.A.R with a 20$ all you can drink area, you are gonna have a hell of a party. And alot of stoned individuals

This is Baltimore. They had ZZ Top and $2 beers in the infield last year, and they still drew like 32 people. They might get more folks to come this year, but it sure as shootin' won't be because the locals want to see OAR in concert.

What kind of cheap swill will this be?.
