For those that want to bash NYRA over this, try feeding your family at Yankee Stadium or at a Forest Hills tennis match. Locally, food and beverage at SPAC or the arena in Albany costs plenty more than the same meal offsite. If the prices offend, bring your own, at least at the track you still can do that.

I find the prices at Carolina BBQ to be quite acceptable and the food very good. Whatever your budget for a day at the track, there is a way to make it work. Don't want to slurge on food, go get a hot dog and soda at the little shack outside the clubhouse gate, it's about $4.50. Save more by bringing your own.

$12 for 16 oz Corona's at AA arena in Miami
$8 for hot dog at The Jerry Jones Dome/ $10 for a hamburger

I don't mind buying beer. But $12 for a measured shot is a non-starter...

It sure isn't cheap!! I got smashed one night at Camden Yards. It was easy to justify though, because the tickets and parking were free

you're well traveled chuck

as far as 'toga go's, if you don't like the prices, bring your own food in, one of few places who actually let you, so take advantage or don't complain about the supply and demand situation you put yourself in
