Personally i like the enclosed grandstand at Turfway, since it's usually freezing there (note: not "their"), although i agree that the concessions in that area are extremely lacking. The lower level simo area is crowded and smoky and gross, but the dining room is nice. Their buffet on a normal day is not anywhere near the prime rib you are describing though.

All in all, i find Turfway to be "adequate"... i love the new paddock, and the areas where i sit can be dealt with as long as i have a pretzel and $3.50 large beer in hand.

Locals are used to going to Turfway twice a year, for Lane's End day and Kentucky Cup day. No need to change it. The corrogated aluminum roof & siding of the grandstand? Perhaps. But not the venue.
