The New York Racing Association is installing a major capital improvement project at Saratoga designed to create an enhanced hospitality area for racing fans and revitalize the section of the grandstand near the top of the stretch, the organization announced Thursday.
The Stretch will debut opening day of the 2018 Saratoga meet and marks the first significant enhancement to the structure since the mid-1960s. Highlights of the area include three types of boxes available in multiple configurations, a high-end raised circular bar, touchscreen tablets, and new premium reserved seating. Additionally, The Stretch will offer guests exclusive access to a full-service kitchen and concessions, high-definition televisions and video screens, special events, table service, and private restrooms.
Reserved seating options for The Stretch are now available for paid reservation on a seasonal basis. Inventory is limited and expected to sell quickly. Reservations can be made exclusively through the NYRA Box Office by phone at (844) NYRA-TIX, via email at boxoffice@nyrainc.com or at www.nyra.com/saratoga.
“Over the past five years, we have placed a tremendous emphasis on enhancing the guest experience at this much beloved sporting venue,” said New York Racing Association CEO Chris Kay. “Now, for the first time in many decades, we are creating new boxes for people of all ages to enjoy a day at historic Saratoga Race Course.”
