not just beatiful, but a prime racetrack in the Midwest, but gambling takes it away..if gambling is what makes racing continue.....SAD..............any idea how it is in the UK? Gambling

    6 Regulars say goodbye to Arlington Park- A very touching read--- just so sad

I admit to crying gate to wire during last race from Arlington.:(

I missed it or would have, too.......only time I was there for racing (they had a big great Antiques show annually), a horse just dropped dead at the end of a race and they just left him there.......no medics, lifesaving.......and a long time before a Truck came and pulled him off the track to truck........very disrespectful........and I said , that's it,,,,,,no more races

Wonder if Mr D was there?

more sad

This sucks! If I was a resident around the track I would not be happy with this sale at all. The traffic before and after a game will be horrible.

Let alone the noise and drinks around the stadium…..

yes.......to that and Ger's comment about noise......tho she didn't say tail-gaiters, we near GB are quite familiiar with all of that...........cannot imagine...............will be quite a MESS, but those who want to sell now, may find good prices,as GB has homes all around for partying....yuck........and some of those hae been there for yrs........note that Chicago Mayor is acquiescing now

Truly , the END of an Era
