The field is by the racetrack and has been used as a parking lot. The field is full of cars and a few scattered horse and carriages. Behind the track are the grandstands, a large wood framed structure filled with people. The stands' benches slope down towards the track, and the roof is supported with wooden poles. There is are also a gazebo and tower structure used to get a better view of the finish line. To the left of the track are some more wood framed buildings and some tents.
