I had grandstand seats and just to get through all of the people camped out in the aisles was quite frustrating. It would take 15 minutes to work your way through all of the people just to get to the normal 15 minute betting window or bathroom lines. I love Keeneland and will go back on a non Bluegrass weekend.

That's why I get a seat, eat before I sit down, and bet from my phone and only get up if I need to use the bathroom or really want to see a horse in the paddock.
We have went to the last three Bluegrass Days, not sure now about this year. If Judy the Beauty is going in the Madison that will probably be a game changer.
