Kentucky Derby

[BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA]

From ESPN:

 

Kentucky's third-largest city is Churchill Downs on Derby Day, trailing only behind Louisville (550,000-plus) and Lexington (268,000-plus). In fact, there will be more people at the Derby than in the state's next three largest cities -- Owensboro, Bowling Green and Covington -- combined.

 

Just like how Memorial Stadium becomes the third largest city in Nebraska on game day.

My sister went there a couple of years ago.

That is what she said one big party
