Kenosha dog track considers closure
KENOSHA -- Battered by declining attendance and wagering, Dairyland Greyhound Park in Kenosha, which lost $3.4 million last year, is considering closing after this season, a racetrack executive said Saturday.
The state’s only pari-mutuel dog-racing track told employees in a letter Thursday that a decision on the future of the park will be made no later than Nov. 16.
Dairyland’s attendance is down 19 percent so far this year compared with the same period in 2008, and wagering is down 29 percent, said Roy Berger, Dairyland’s executive vice president.
