"One of the things we try to make different about the Breeders' Cup is we want to set the bar high on enhancing the experience. It works well whenever you come back to a track and they've put this much emphasis on improving their facility. It's amazing what Churchill has done, and it's showing up in our ticket sales, too." All visitors to Churchill Downs will notice some other significant changes, whether they are seated in The Mansion or not. In 2014, the track debuted the world's largest 4K ultra-high definition video board, and this year major parking lot renovations have occurred. Aimed at improving the arrival experience for guests, the work included introducing a "front door" to the facility that takes guests from the famed Barbaro statue outside the gates to space beneath the Twin Spires. "We are always so honored to have the Breeders' Cup here," Brown said. "There are a lot more types of seating areas and different levels of service for everyone now, and basically the whole goal of that is to make it a party for everyone. "The Breeders' Cup is championship horse racing at its ver y best, and we are one of the oldest, most legendary tracks in the country, so we are just excited to have it back here and want to make the Breeders' Cup experience wonderful for all of our guests."
