I was there for Bluegrass 2012. I don't mind crowds at all but that day was over the top. I'm used to the big lines at the windows, concessions, and bathrooms. I just go with the flow and expect it on big days. Keeneland's problem is they allow all of the aisles to be jammed up with people. I had grandstand seats and just to get through all of the people camped out in the aisles was quite frustrating. It would take 15 minutes to work your way through all of the people just to get to the normal 15 minute betting window or bathroom lines. I love Keeneland and will go back on a non Bluegrass weekend.
