These drawings look a lot like European racetracks, which for the most part look very modern and don't try and look like the old facilities they replaced.
NYRA is trying to build something that will be nice and luxurious and full of amenities in the hope of attracting people back to the track. Good for them.

I agree. This is the way new racetracks are being built. Even tracks like Lone Star and Sam Houston were more built like this than tracks built 25 years before them. I’m glad that they have indoor viewing space for the winter. If I had to nitpick I would have added more brick, but I think it looks nice.
