Getting alcohol into the derby infield?

Question

I'm going for the first time this year and heard the beers are ridiculously overpriced. I'm looking for methods people have seen of sneaking alcohol in since they don't allow beverage bottles of any kind or coolers anymore.

Also, how strictly do they search you? Any tips on the infield experience are appreciated.

Answer 1

Just curious, if you have to sneak the beer in, is it that necessary to have anyway.

Answer 2

I go to the Derby every year Lindsay & my advise to you is .. good luck trying to smuggle liquor in. They have the cops AND the local army troops checking everyone's bag, cooler, camera case, etc.. The beer inside, I believe was $7.00 for a 16oz bottle. I guess that is a little expensive. But unfortunately, that seems to be the only way.

Have fun anyway. You'll have a blast !

Answer 3

There are so-many people in the infield, concerts, and action going on; its very hard to maintain any space for a cooler; or

tow it around. I suggest keep cooler in trunk of car,

or "GET A FLASK".

OR JUST BET "BIG BROWN AND PRYO"

EXACTA OR WHEEL THE TWO and YOU SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY WHAT YOU WANT.

Answer 4

try the beer belly works great
