I think the infield club is gone, it has been moved to the first turn of the clubhouse where you can purchase a ticket and have a buffet and drinks. I think I saw a diagram where the Infield Club was, it is replaced by a fan zone. I don't have any details but thought I'd let you know.

They created a section on the grandstand side of the first turn to take it's place. I have some friends who might come out ahead on the $500 tickets with all you can eat and drink, but personally I'd rather pay my $100 or so and shove $400 through the window...ok, maybe $150/$350 if juleps are still going up over $12 a pop.
