Lone Star Park Set to Admit Spectators
Description:
Lone Star Park is set to reopen to spectators, according to a June 10 release.
Beginning June 14, which is also Texas Champions Day at the track in Grand Prairie, Tx., spectators will be permitted to attend the races for the remainder of the Thoroughbred racing season. The season, which began May 22 without spectators, is set to continue through Aug. 11, pending race date approval by the Texas Racing Commission.
Admission will be free and guests will only be able to enter through the East gate (near the grandstand valet circle). All guests will have their temperature checked as they approach the gate, and will be asked a brief CDC questionnaire. Face masks are available for guests and everyone is encouraged to wear them. Social distancing guidelines will be implemented.
On live race days, the areas within Lone Star Park's grandstand will be limited to the second floor as well as the East apron, East paddock and East side of the first floor. Occupancy is limited to 50% in each respective area. If demand exceeds the occupancy limits, then additional areas of the grandstand may be opened.
Additionally, the second floor of the grandstand will be made available every Saturday beginning at 10:30 a.m. local time for simulcasting to accommodate overflow from Lone Star Park's simulcast facility, Bar & Book. This area will open at 9:00 a.m. on June 20, Belmont Stakes Day.
Every day that the Grandstand is open concessions and bars with limited offerings will be available as well as programs. Valet parking service has been suspended until further notice. General parking and preferred parking will be free.
