This was one of Dave Felmans pet peeves and he was pushing for a 2nd finish line back in the 70's.

By the way Arlington with its opening day and Mother's Day crowds has to be destroying previous years attendence records. And Levy charging 5 bucks for a sliver of pizza and 5.25 for a beer a long with it have to be making a killing. One oddity I noticed was a can of pop at 2 bucks and a bottle of water at 3 bucks.

The idiots that passed up drinking fountains to wait in line for their waters are probably the ones complaining about 3 bucks for a gallon of gas and have no clue they're paying 12 bucks per gallon of water.
