I'm all for beer, but as a business decision, it's hard to argue with that.

And if they sell some extra booze, so be it

Where is the link to this video Bob? I would like to see what was going on.

I remember the first time I went into the infield for the Preakness .... my first thought was "I've seen toga parties in the woods at night more civilized than this"

But anyway, of course it's all about selling booze and not safety.

How many toga parties in the woods at night have you seen?

I'm sure these antics weren't alcohol induced:

I haven't looked at the video, but is that the video of people taking full cans of beer and throwing them into the crowds as one might toss a grenade into a foxhole, or is that a video of an idiot trying to run the urinals despite the fact the urinals are in groups of six and spaced ten feet apart?

Anyway, I'm sure there is some merit to picking up the liquor business, but I'm frankly shocked there hasn't been a huge lawsuit at Pimlico to date over some of the happenings in the infield. MJC certainly can't afford that megamillion lawsuit at this point.

Yes. The Running of the Urinals just won't be the same without people getting crowned with full beer cans.

I for one think the infield at the Preakness borders on being a drunken prison riot after around 3pm. It has only become this way in the past 10 years or so - I used to go in the mid 80's-early 90's and while we all enjoyed more than our fair share of booze, it was still a festive atmosphere. It is absolutely fucl<ing disgusting nowadays. Good for the MJC.

and

which also will feature an interactive area where fans can experience the thrill of driving a NASCAR vehicle for a virtual test lap

Perhaps it's me, but I think they should have a virtual horseracing game instead of a NASCAR game. (maybe NASCAR threw some $ at them)

exactly.... like 4-5 years ago i was @ the belmont and they had the big 18 wheeler NTRA semi in the park. You could get on the truck and look at all these different cool horse racing features, the horse racing video game where you're physically on the horse. But the coolest thing was they had a section where they actually let you call a race, and it was broadcasted throughout the entire truck so all could hear. I was wasted and ended up getting the mass cap when skip away won, they gave me the pp's and let me go to work, i was so wasted i knew it sounded like sh!t but it was fun, and they gave you the "VHS" (thats the old school version of a DVD for those out there that don't know).

but i guess some sort of nascar ride would be more fitting or relavent @ a horse race and a nascar hot bed like b-more, what?

This is a good answer to my thread which I asked why Saratoga doesnt open up their infield anymore. Good grief, where do these people come from? Yuuueech.

To Hell with alcohol! There's a movement afoot this morning (started about two minutes ago) to make the Preakness infield to a 'shroom festival. Let's see how they handle that when some psychedelicized fans want to get out there and feel the breeze of the horseys running by

[Mike]

This from The Bloodhorse a few minutes ago:

When the infield opened at 8 a.m., there was no rush through the tunnel like in previous years. The track changed its policy this year, not allowing patrons to bring their own alcohol in, and the crowd, at least early, was considerably smaller.

[phystech]

Word on tv was instead of the typical thousands lined up, the estimate was less than 100.......

[ezgoerbaby]

I'm sure the infield will be a whole lot more fun with the 'shroomers instead of the drunks.
