2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[Pjroprietors of amusement facilities, whose very survival depends on bringing the public into their place of amusement, are reasonable people who usually do not exclude their customers unless they have a reason to do so. What the pro-prictor of a race track does not want to have to do is prove or explain that his reason for exclusion is a just reason.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“Because the Illinois Supreme Court has never directly confronted the issue ... we must take what they have said, what Illinois appellate courts have said, and then the decisions of other states on the same issue, in order to formulate our holding.”
