Considering there were about eight people in the infield last year for Preakness, I can understand why they made the change. That being said, all you can drink for $20 sounds absolutely preposterous and, like the old bring all the beer you can carry rule, is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

I think it's a terrible idea. All I can think of is that drunk/deranged guy trying to throw a punch at a horse in the stretch.

Does racing really want/need fans that are just coming to the races to get bombed?

yes. It is a Preakness & college tradition.

I think every racing fan should go to a Preakness and walk out the same entrance as the infield revelers just to get a really good understanding of exactly what happens there.

Long refill lines. Limited supply of refill beer. Unmitigated disaster.

I can hear the excuses now...."We did not anticipate how popular this innovative promotion would be. We learned a lot from this experiment, and we vow to be better prepared in 2011 for the inaugural running of the Preakness at Gulfstream Park."
