I read the article too, thought it was pretty interesting. Outside of having to invest in the lighting (pretty expensive I would think for a track that size), I for years thought there might be in issue with the harness horsemen in NY in that they traditionally have that night slot, but it looks like them asking for this might mean they figured out a way around it.
The traffic is always an issue, but something else that was might be an issue is the proximity to Manhattan and there being so many different things to do at night. Also curious to see what the simo presence would be. I do agree though, its a step in the right direction for getting the BC back, if that is what they want.
Maybe start with renting some lights to see how it does before fully investing. I for one would actually love it.
