No outside drinks will be allowed at Preakness infield

[GBBob]

[quote=Cardus]If liability is the issue, then why have alcohol in the infield beyond serving it in the marquis tents?

Let's say someone gets loaded by 9:00 or 10:00 a.m. on Preakness Day (no stretch there), then enters the infield and has more beer supplied by the MJC.

Isn't that person just as likely to do the "running of the urinals" as someone who gets loaded on his own beer?

And what will stop some moron loaded on MJC beer from taking, let's say, his 10th beer, half-drank, and throwing it at the guy running atop the urinals?[/QUOTE]

Draft beer

and, I have to believe there is a huge difference in consumption when you are paying $6.00 a draft vs bringing in a case for $12.00.

I really can't believe I'm posting against carrying in booze...wow

Have you guys actually been near the proletariat entrances of Pimlico on Preakness day? Fools literally bring in case upon case of beer (my favorite part is actually the guys with shopping carts willing to cart your load for a $20 - this stuff is good enough for the Wire), I suspect about 75 percent of which is to drink whilst 25 percent is to throw at your closest neighbor.

I, for one, happen to enjoy those corporate tents at Preakness. The difference between Pimlico and Churchill is that Churchill has other days to make revenue and an actual non-degenerate local audience, while Pimlico either makes money on Preakness day or they don't make money period. I can't begrudge the Jockey Club the opportunity to make some extra cash by selling corporate sponsorship on the infield if it keeps Maryland racing afloat.

Actually, I was considering getting infield tickets this year after sitting in the grandstand for about nine Preakni, since this might be the last opportunity that I have for a while to go. Two years ago, I went into the infield during the middle of the day, and went to the outer fence to watch the turf race (in which the horse fell right in front of us). It was a neat place to watch a race there, and you still had jumbotron access.

I'd like to see the "liability numbers" if that is the case, though.

Will Frank's Energy Drink be available in the infield?
