They deserve the lost patrons. I hope the $7 beers they sold today make up for the lost admission fees and lost handle...screw em

handle was actually pretty strong at the end of the day - even moreso than last year.

The usual Preakness infield crowd doesn't gamble much-just drink themselves into oblivion and do things no self respecting person would do.

So no one got cracked on the skull
with generic beer during
the great urinal run.

Sad.

It was a sporting event.

the infield never significantly contributed to handle... but its a real shame they ended the bringin in beer thing.... because that is what the Preakness is all about!! One big party!

the place was a ghost town this year, the corporate tents and turfside palace tickets (the big wigs) were empty all day except for the preakness race. Couldn't see the infield from my seats, but the local tv station showed a clip in the mid-afternoon where spots on the fence, which are usually gone by 8:05 were wide open. I guess the $1 beers from 8-11 and the oxygen bar didn't attract as many people as they thought. I waited for the last race to end, and it literally took me 10 min. to get onto the expressway. I've seen bigger crowds at best buy on christmas eve, sad
