Just saying.
rather see the BC buy Hialeah and run the BC there every year. Not sure how big their turf course is/was. Wouldn't be any weather problems

I loved that track!
Too bad they were so greedy.

GP would make a nice parking lot. You could park there for two weeks and get charged for only an hour!

Hialeah had a 1-mile turf course - but it could be expanded by moving the rail inward, which would also widen the course.

Hi guys it’s been a while since I posted lolol

So I drove by acrc about 2 months ago, you can still see it clearly from the Macy’s parking lot, however you can’t get anywhere even close to it

They seem to have put up a brand new fence around the entire property, you used to be able to sneak in through various openings around the grounds but now they have it completely sealed, even tried to get cute and go around the backside where the town homes are and sneak under the rail but the new fence impossible to get around

I’m going back in 2 weeks maybe I can take some pics but it’s a very depressing site I can promise you, there was an article in the ac press about 2 years ago stating the weather was starting to take its toll on the shut down plant

Yes, I'm sure they'll do that at Atlantic City's falling-down, shuttered racetrack rather than in the nearby casinos....
