| FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED SEATING | |
|
|
| Please be aware that if reserved seating is sold out there are still thousands of seats available each day on a first-come, first-served basis. (See note below.) The Grandstand, Clubhouse and trackside apron offer free benches and there are tables in the backyard picnic area. A Track Tradition: Seat Courtesy It has been a long-time tradition that if a customer places a newspaper or article of clothing on a bench or picnic table that all other customers acknowledge that the seat is being used. While NYRA Peace Officers will not enforce this tradition, we appreciate everyone's courtesy and cooperation in this matter. Please be considerate of your fellow racing fans and remove your newspaper if you do not plan to return. |
