What are your thoughts on paying for reserved seats at the track?

SAM machines should be all over the place.They require electric outlets every 8 feet or so,it should be the same requirement with wagering machines at racetracks.

I noticed yesterday when I went that the prices for food and drinks had gone up. But parking is still free. PREFERRED parking is $5 on weekdays, $10 on weekends.

Lone Star's prices are too high.
