BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- If you're planning to go to the Preakness this year and don't like waiting in line, plan to eat ahead of time.

Event officials released a new list of items strictly prohibited at Pimlico Race Course.

Those items include bringing outside food of any kind through the gates.

There was a food ban last year, but it only extended to the infield.

This year, the ban includes the grandstand.

Other new prohibited items this year include frisbees and drones.
