A Preakness at Laurel would be expected to attract about 75,000 to 80,000 people compared to the 130,000-plus who attend at Pimlico. But Ritvo said a race relocated to Laurel would be expected to generate more revenue because it would be a more “elevated" event with higher admissions prices, particularly for premium seats. It would include a corporate village and concert stage, but would not host fans in the infield because at Laurel, that area is a protected wetland.
