Philadelphia Park - free admission, free parking.

Live racing program - $2. Tip sheet from the legendary local handicapper Craig Donnelly - $2. DRF with about 7-10 tracks in it (depending on the day) - $6.25.

Grandstand seating on the fifth floor, free to whomever wants it.

Seats at various bars, or tables in the common wagering areas - free.

Seat charge in turf terrace dining room - none.

Picnic tables from late April to October come with umbrellas and all - free. Bring coolers and grills and whatever you choose, just no glass bottles.

Apron benches - free.

Track takeout - higher than normal for most jurisdictions - blame the state, not the track.

Racing quality and field sizes - improving the last two years.

Slot machines - of course...a whole bunch of course, and it's regularly busy.

Food concessions selection relatively limited but if you hang outside and bring your own...it's all good.

Seems like a deal compared to Lone Star.
