Gulfstream can hold 5,000-6,000 people comfortably. 12,000 is very, very crowded.
There are a total of 600 outdoor seats with a view of the racetrack. On the big Saturdays last year, those 600 seats went for about $75 and they are impossible for an average person to get.
Gulfstream is all about revenue per sq ft. Their approach is that it is a handle-driven and not an attendance-driven track.
It is a nice place but the big Saturdays are impossibly crowded. Sundays are better. Weekdays are best.
