I usually go down for the Preakness (not to the infield), but not this year. However, I have a friend there sitting up in the apron area. Sent me a text saying the infield is about 30% what it usually is in terms of crowds. I don't think the shots are misleading anyone.

I'd wager that they don't have 10k in the infield. And I'd also wager total attendance will be a record low - less than 45k.

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
