No Booze in this Year’s Preakness Infield

It’s Preakness time again at the Pimlico Race Course right outside Baltimore, Maryland. This year’s Preakness will carry on as planned, with one slight change: you can’t bring your own alcohol to the infield! The infield and all of its debauchery has always been quite the scene. Beer-tossing, countless fights, and of the course the infamous Running of the Porta Potties back in the glory days of ‘07:

It’s precisely these antics that caused Pimlico to institute the no-bring-your-own alcohol policy; that, and they wanted to make more money by selling their own booze. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that: you’re allowed to drink, you’ll just have to take part in $6 miller lite day at Pimlico. And if you’ve ever been to Preakness, you know it’s a loooong day. We used to start around 7 AM and go until the actual Preakness race, which was around 7pm. Booze + Sun always = sunburned drunks.

Best of luck to you if you’re going; and make sure you bring lots of cash for overpriced alcohol!
