Picture from the Baltimore Sun at the entrance to the preakness this morning. Caption reads:
"Shown is the lack of crowd waiting to enter the infield at the 8 a.m. opening time."
*UPDATE*
Around 3 PM ET, Maryland Jockey Club President Tom Chuckas acknowledged that this year's Preakness infield attendance was "down, significantly down." What did he expect? Below is a picture from the 2009 infield.
Saying it's down is an understatement. Here is a picture from last year's infield, and keep in mind that this picture is just a small subsection of the infield, not an overhead shot like the one from the grandstand above. The whole infield was packed like this in 2008.
