The performers in the infield included ZZ Top, Buckcherry, and Charm City Devils. In addition, there was a professional volleyball tournament in the infield. This year also marked the first year in which fans were not allowed to bring their own beverages into the infield, a move which has drawn some mixed reactions.Bill Ordine and Sam Sessa, "Preakness bans outside beverages from the infield," Baltimore Sun, February 6, 2009, (accessed 5/8/09).
