I think there will be at least one building built. I guess it will be like Arlington was when its grandstand burned to the ground, or like Fair Grounds. Tent city and maybe some mobile pods. I just hope people show up so it can run at least semi-decently successfully. Mr. Campbell is putting a lot into this, and so far it's gone well for them.

I stopped to take pictures when they razed the old track in Livonia, it was sad...

Indian Charlie's thread... it takes a village?

Maybe they can borrow some of the BC tents.

We've got one right here at good old Churchill Downs.
