There is beer! You just can't bring it in with you. Like all other events in this Country.

[czw01]

yes but will it also be like $4 a bottle like all other events in this country. I do like the other things like the concerts are awesome!

[MJCPREAKNESS2009]

CZW

They will be $3.50 for a 16 oz. Not a bad price. We are looking into other ways to serve it as well. Stay tuned for more info!

The bands are going to be awesome. We plan on having something going on all the time....all day long!

[shmalphy]

I was at the last good one haha

[haterofthecentury]

not choking it out, just trying to wring every last dollar out of the event..

[bobbyd7314]

i will never attend a preakness again

[IAmAfrique]

Balto. City Gov't and Annapolis are choking the "Preakness" out...! No other venue has moved so drastically in such an economic climate. Does Baltimore think that highly of herself self that she actually thinks "The Preakness" would not go on if not held there? Get real even "The Colt's" have a championship since they bounced!! D**m Bmore+MD what's next no more crabs, no more corned beef from "Lexington Market. Go to NY; They won't treat you like a criminal before you really break a law.

[Champraves311]

Don't ruin another Baltimore tradition. I know its silly that a beverage means so much, but realistically, it does.

[Champraves311]

O's unofficial mascot Wild Bill Haggy even boycotted the Orioles after that never coming to a single game the rest of his life.

The atmosphere of O's games never changed, as they want from being an event similar to a European soccer match or a college party, to a family event with yuppies and overpriced concessions. The O's have had only 2 good seasons since those 24 years. I think we can agree that a team's success can be a good amount attributed to their fans.

[Champraves311]

With all due respect sir, as you saw today the infield festivities were a failure. Despite the fact that it was highly advertised, despite the fact that you had ZZ Top, the turn out was pathetic. Banning BYOB was a terrible decision, especially in a recession year.

If you looked at Baltimore history you could see that you repeated a mistake. When beer was banned in memorial stadium in 1985, it killed the a major part of the Orioles fan base.

[linnWV]

preakness is bullshit now and thats why i didn't attend this year due to the new rules... Preakness WAS a good thing. I know for a fact that the attendance went down this year for the infield. If you don't like the infieid than sit in the bleachers

How much is the Hot Dog with Ketchup,,$ 3.50 for a 16z draft beer i guess is a little High.. how about make it flat $3 bucks..
