The Nebraska Racing Commission recently denied requests from two racetrack owners to open additional racetracks in the state. The Commission cited a lack of economic feasibility as the primary reason for the decision.

The two racetrack owners had requested permission to open new tracks in Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska. However, the Commission determined that the proposed tracks would not be economically viable. The Commission noted that the current racetracks in the state are already struggling to stay afloat, and that adding additional tracks would only add to the financial burden.

The Commission also noted that the proposed tracks would not be able to generate enough revenue to cover their costs. The Commission concluded that the proposed tracks would not be able to generate enough money to pay for their operating costs, such as employee salaries, maintenance, and insurance.

The decision by the Commission has been met with mixed reactions. Some have argued that the decision is a blow to the racing industry in Nebraska, while others have praised the Commission for making a difficult but necessary decision.

The decision by the Commission highlights the importance of economic feasibility when it comes to opening new racetracks. Before investing in a new racetrack, it is important to consider whether or not it will be able to generate enough revenue to cover its costs. If it cannot, then it may be best to look for other opportunities.

The Nebraska Racing Commission’s decision is a reminder that economic feasibility is an important factor when it comes to opening new racetracks. It is important for racetrack owners to consider all of the potential costs associated with opening a new track before making any decisions.
