I don't know, on the far side of the grandstand when I was there, there was a pretty big lot that had a bunch of RVs in it of people tailgating pretty hard. I have a feeling the people who were only going to party in the first place will find a way to get it done beforehand in the parking lot. It also depends what they price beers at on the infield. If they try and charge $8 a beer it will hurt future attendance. Charge $4 or less and you'll have more people willing to go despite not being able to bring in their own beer.
