MJ,

Everything I see,read,hear tells me Elvis has left the building re increasing on track attendance in a meaningful way.

At the smaller venues, it may be beneficial to do the things you suggest but at Belmont/Aqueduct type venues it won't fly. Weekday attendance at Belmont/Aqu is downright depressing. When I go,the place is stone dead, no buzz at all. The crowds of the past are gone, seemingly for good.NYRA tried the "young" concert route and it's going nowhere in a hurry,that crowd bet like $20 per head but loved to drink and chase the skirts.Did it create a few more new fans?, maybe, but that is not going to be meaningful going forward.

Bold innovation is required to possibly revive the game,that will not happen under the current Clueless Clowns/Politically appointed stooges.
