What Will the 2021 Kentucky Derby Look Like? Parking, Traffic, COVID Safety And Dining
Louisville Courier Journal
Fans will be in attendance this year at the 147 Kentucky Derby, for the first time since 2019. But that doesn't mean the scene will look like your typical first Saturday in May.
Around 15,000 fans will be permitted to the infield, Churchill Downs announced in early April, while reserved seating options will fill the stands to between 40% to 60% capacity, meaning around 45,000 people total could be at the historic racetrack for the annual Run for the Roses.
