Now that we know Presque Isle Downs & Casino is up for sale, we talked with Erieites to see what they would like to see from new ownership.
Erie resident Jeffrey Johnson is hoping for it to become an entertainment venue.
“You need to get the people that would not normally go there and you can do that by making it more of a destination spot,” Johnson said.
Millcreek Township resident RJ Zonna told us that he would like to see an extended racing season and more horses running.
“The weather is good enough here from May to October that you can run the horses and I would love to see a bigger field because typically they have five or six horses running and it is hard to make money when the favorite seems to win all the time,” Zonna said.
