I do not see how they could possibly come close to accommodating 60,000 or more.

Unfortunately, I think they'll have to limit tickets, it's the only solution I see. If they put temporary seats on the apron, and beyond the Clubhouse, I don't think they should sell any General Admission. The other thing is I hope it doesn't rain. Most of the parking around Keeneland are grassy areas and a few years ago it rained a solid week, and it was tough to find parking. I think this could be a great event (more for TV than in person), so it'll be interesting.
