They're more concerned with the revenue they lost last year.

[10 pnt move up]

This is a pure money grab

They need to put guns and ammo in the infield and a bulletproof dome over it.

The infield was basically an open field at Pimlico last year. I understand why they're trying to make up for a 30k plus drop in infield attendance last year.

Exactly. Keeping the college kids away means nil chance of them really becoming interested in the sport somewhere down the road. If you can bank an extra few million in the process, good for Pimlico.

Everyone needs to get off the high horse and quit worrying about the new slogan and this promo designed to let college kids have a good time. Not everyone wants to dress up and pretend to be important.

santa anita back in the mid eighties you could bring your own in the infield......the 2004 belmont was insane, i saw a guy with 7 cases stacked on a wagon going thru the turnstiles.

This isn't about college kids having a good time, never was. But when things suck, try anything method. Now the 2nd jewel in racing has stuped to a beer fest to make money, and think this promotes real racing fans. lol
