I don't get it. Have you been to a Preakness other than last year's? They want to rekindle the party atmosphere in the infield that has existed for DECADES. They're not trying to create some new misadventure and 'debaucherous' scene... They're hoping to bring back the one that always existed until last year's ill-advised 'crackdown'.
My first racetrack experiences as an adult was in the Preakness infield 1984-89. It helped fuel my interest in the game. I'm sure I'm the ONLY person that ever got interested in the sport that way though.
