So you?ve got your cheap seats to the Preakness ? in the infield. Combining gambling, crowds ofpeople and tons of beer into one place can spell fun, but more often than not can spell serious injuries. The Preakness infield may be “the” place to be, with 98 Rock broadcasting live and calling the day “the mid-Atlantic?s largest party,” but the party?s over if someone gets seriously hurt.

Some of the risks of watching the race from the crowded infield include alcohol poisoning, heat exhaustion and being crushed by the hundreds of excited, drunken people attending the event. But the No. 1 risk of celebrating in the infield is dehydration.
