Will the Preakness Stakes remain at Baltimore’s aging Pimlico Race Course? Will Maryland legalize sports betting, and how will that change what it means to be a sports fan?

Amanda Yeager of the Baltimore Business Journal takes us through the arguments for and against moving the second leg of racing's’ Triple Crown to Laurel Park. Read her reporting on the Maryland Stadium Authority's plan for a $424 million estimated rebuild of Pimlico.

And veteran sports journalist Bill Ordine of Press Box describes the paths Maryland may take to legalize sports betting.  Read more on the future of sports betting nationally and here in Maryland.
