I wonder if more than ten people on here would agree with you that it's capable of hosting another one. Even five might be a stretch. I like the place too.....for everyday racing. I just don't see it as a viable BC host site anymore. I wish it was because I loved going to Florida for the BC.

I finally got down to Gulfstream and was surprised how much room there is there. They could definitely host a BC. Would need to put in a lot of temporary seating but there is tons of room for it. The parking lot goes all the way down the stretch so they could back it up a few spaces and extend the general admission area all the way down. Charge an arm and a leg for the limited seats in the grandstand for the people that absolutely need to sit in their posh seating and make all the rest general admission including the temporary seating. The only stumbling block is parking but that can be worked out with shuttles. Gulfstream is far more capable of handling 50,000 than Pimlico is of handling 100,000.
