Help with Preakness trip

Define " ton of money" for me.

I have purchased tickets off of Ebay two of the last three years. They were inside the grandstand, third floor owners boxes inside. I think I paid about $250 per seat.

As always, it all depends on your budget and what you want out of your day. If you don't mind 80,000 college students then the infield is ok for $50. If you just want to be able to be inside the building and watch TV, general admission is fine too. If you want to sit down, watch ebay for early tickets.

I, personally, think the worst seats are the Top of the Stretch bleachers. If you want to sit on aluminum in the hot sun or cold rain, then that's the way to go.
