Just my opinion, but alot of the infielders aren't worth the $40 they spend to get in. They add $0 in handle and trash everything in sight. Who cares if there's 5k less of them?

yeah i know about the top of the stretch at pimlico, those seats are right on the fence of the turf course with some kind of view. From what i read of the article
"Churchill Downs announced yesterday that it will add a higher-priced restricted area that will take up prime real estate in the middle of the infield."

its gonna be a fenced off area on the bricks portion of the infield, which pretty much smack dab in the middle of the infield. The later in the day it gets the more drunk people get and they're gonna be pissed that they have to walk all the way around this thing just to go to the bathroom or to wager, i saw it happen first hand when the caged millionaires row. From the company standpoint you have to appreciate the way they're trying to squeeze the dime out of this event, but as a patron of the infield the last 10 years, this is gonna suck.
