I was in So. FL last weekend and saw this hideous statue. There are certainly less expense and more attractive ways to offer shade to patrons. The worst result of this, IMO, is the huge price hike this year hitting some of the track's best customers. Prices for the boxes have been more than doubled to $25,000 and suits upped from $35,000 to $75,000. Clearly those folks are being stuck for a large portion of the bill for this absurd statue. I'm guessing that other seating options will be increased, as well.
