Hi,
I posted this in a reply to Ted in another thread, but this might get better exposure over here. I had previously mentioned a location upstairs in the grandstand that has tables and is within close proximity to the top of the seating area for easy viewing of the races. This year, with the addition of the new "The Stretch" area that eliminated a bunch of cheap grandstand seats at the top of the stretch, the aforementioned area also got a makeover. For the past several years, NYRA had set up boutique shops that we usually never frequented. This year, they tore those out and built a new wall with several HDTV's and self-betting terminals. In addition, they added some betting windows to the far left right next to the new "The Stretch", and the small tables were replaced with larger tables big enough to accommodate multiple laptop computers. There are also outlets on some support columns, making it convenient to run a lead cord/power strip.
Here are some photos from Opening Day. Let me know what you guys think...
