Today you see all of these celebrities at Laker games. In the old days, the track was where all the celebrities would go. It will be a sad day if Hollywood Park closes.

So because Hollywood Park use to draw crowds its supposed to be considered historically significant? Really? Is there any more historical significance to hollywood park than Yankee stadium? I dont think its even close. Hollywood Park isnt even in the same stratosphere as the old Yankee stadium in terms significance. The old Yankee stadium was still packing them in when they closed it.
I dont deny that it will be sad when it closes...to us horse racing fans. My point is that there arent too many of us left and the number certainly isnt growing. And if thats the case, do you think a vast majority of people really care if Hollywood Park closes?
