Churchill Downs Incorporated announced an $80-$90 million renovation to the grandstand at Churchill Downs Racetrack Wednesday.
The renovation will update ticketed seating options and improve and add amenities in the grandstand area. Construction is slated to begin in August with an eye on being complete in time for the running of the 151st Kentucky Derby in May.
The plan is to transform the existing aluminum bleachers into a combination of 8,300 seats that will include covered and uncovered stadium-style seats and rail boxes along the track’s outer rail to offer a trackside seating experience where the crowd can watch horses break from the starting gate.
First-floor amenities for the Grandstand Club will include new and upgraded concessions, bars and wagering windows.
The project will also improve upon existing amenities and add new ones to the third floor box seats. The Grandstand Pavilion will transform the existing second-floor area into a covered outdoor garden environment with new concessions and bars as well as wagering windows.
