Improving access to concessions and bathroom facilities should be a no-brainer. Hire more staff for the day and bring in portable facilities - GP does this for Florida Derby day - They have trailers which are not porta-johns, but actual bathroom facilities with sinks and fans and whatnot.
You can't teach common sense.

NYRA is beyond lucky that there were no incidents of robbery, or worse, in unlit parking lots with virtually no staff to help manage the exit of that many cars.... they would have been sued to death and it's really unacceptable. Thousands were put in jeopardy and I am personally amazed that it did not get exceedingly ugly
