In regards to the post about Hialeah, I disagree. American racing now, maybe even more than ever, needs its Crown Jewels like this to be running legitimate meets with class. GP, regardless of its $10MM purse race and million foot tall statue, will never have the class of Hialeah. It’s still standing, it’s been remodeled, get a landscaper out there for a weekend and put it on HD while we are all locked in our houses.
Most people don't want to go to old uncomfortable facilities. There are places like Fenway Park and Saratoga who have turned it into a virtue, but there's a reason many aging public facilities get rebuilt or renovated. (E.g., for every Saratoga or Fenway, there are several Comiskey Parks or Del Mars.)
