What about Chicago? Are you telling me its warmer in Chicago too?

Now is the cold issue relating to the fans wont want to stay outside in the cold all day? Or is it about plumbing and other technical equipment? If it is, that I could see, but fans go to Lambert Field in weather 50 degrees colder.

A BC on real dirt and a nice turf course is a pretty damn good product! I think people would come!

Lifers Randall? There are plenty of them here at Saratoga too!
The BigM is a dump I don't want it there I was joking. SO is Aqueduct though.

Truthfully if they had a rotation between Arl, CD, Bel, and SA I'd be fine with that, though I don't like having it on Poly much.

It would never happen at the Meadowlands. Too many questions/risks with the Main Track. Due to the fact that it's not really the #1 permanant surface there.
I personally think with a fresh coat of paint and a few leaky pipes fixed The Big A would be a fine spot to have the BC.

Ugh after September. That's only reason I didn't move there. Love it.

Really? I am not a winter lover either but I wouldnt let a few degrees here and there dictate where I live. If it was warm weather I was after, the NYC/NJ area would not be where I would go. I know in the harshest months, the NYC area is slightly more mild than here, but the weather there still sucks from about Nov through April.

As somebody who has done just about every winter of their life here, its really not that bad. And this from somebody who doesnt ski or snowmobile. OTBS are warm places to be in the middle of winter. Dumps, but warm!

The Meadowlands is a fun track to go to! I wouldn't select it as a place for the BC but I can think of a lot of other tracks that are more dumpy.
