I have no desire at all, to ever see one in person.
It's a day for laptop computers with fast internet-connections, a personal TV, and a comfortable seat. I can get that for free, in multiple places.

After having been to two BC I am now in agreement with your statement.
I really really enjoyed 2009's BC at Santa Anita.
The 2012 edition, markedly less. I feel like I saw the trajectory the BC was following as far as putting on a live event (maximizing every square inch of revenue-generating real estate at the track) and it's not for me. It's not just a matter of becoming too expensive to attend, but they're carving up the access and seating in ways which really aren;t appealing to me.
Last year I hosted a very nice food/booze/betting fest at my place and I will do the same this year.
