Please remind me of the other businesses that don't try to cash in on popularity.

Racing constantly gets trashed for being complacent. But, somehow this idea is already a bad thing? This kind of thinking makes no sense to me.

b/c you're taking more space away from a section of the downs that is already over populated. As if it wasn't hard enough to walk through the infield on derby day you're gonna tent off a huge space for "private" seats? why spend 150 when you could pay like 200 something in sit in the grandstand, with a view? IMO this whole idea is trying to accomodate those people who are tired of standing in line to wager/use the bathroom in the infield on derby day. If you would like to tack on $110 to your day more power to ya
