But it is a hassle.

They say the real deal avoid Opening Day like the plague as it's amateur hour and too many drunks, and go that same weekend to play and gamble. There are always hot women at the track. Opening Day is too much craziness and competition!

It was a great time!

I got lucky and finagled a table near the finish line.  Its a great way to do the track any time but especially on opening day.  

This year there were definitely fewer people and the service was actually really good and timely.  Couple flasks of whiskey for me (keepin it classy), Veuve Rose for the girls and sit back and watch the spectacle.  

The real shit show was yesterday on the in-field.  Industry day.  All of San Diego's bar tenders and servers getting hammered and so on.  Another great time and fun to watch/be a part of.
