At first I thought even if they opened that attendance would be down but in retrospect I was probably wrong. That's what's actually worrying them about opening to the public. If nothing else in the sports or gathering arena is open the track will become a Mecca for people starving to go out and have fun or get action. The sports arenas are closed, SPAC already has cancelled shows, casinos closed, Lake George and 6 flags may be closed. The owner of the Valley Cats died yesterday from Corona, so local minor league baseball at "The Joe" is in jeopardy. In other words if everything else is not open, and that's not looking good now, the track will not be open either. They may run without fans is the talk around here.
If this happens I wonder how many are gonna sneak peaks. Are locals here gonna congregate at the top of the stretch on Union Ave where you can see the turn? Guys with beers and lawn chairs getting chased away by cops and security? My plan is a tree stand in the back of Yaddo with my cooler, phone and binoculars. Cause keeping people away will become a pain in the ass for authorities. I'm thinking.
