3. Seems, track admins don't get it, you want more on track handle, not drive people out of their seats. As it is, Monmouth gets twice the attendance of Belmont and half the handle at best
Agreed. I like to sit in the grandstand mezz and relax on a hot day. And if I have my kid with me I'm lucky to be able to sit for two races. No way I'm paying. I've been talking with a lot of people, and everyone is pissed about this. Maybe they'll reverse this policy soon; I sure hope so. And if they're going to charge $2 for a seat, it better be clean. The sections at the end of the grandstand have a years worth of dust and grime on them.
