The concourse around the outfield is real fun.

It’s surreal to be able to stand on the fence, a few feet from the water fountains. If you can somehow make a jumbotron look “natural”, they have done it; meaning there are minimal advertisements on it, it doesn’t do annoying flashy shit, and the replays look like HDTV.

The food lines are f-ing long, but I’m gonna chalk that up to first week jitters and the game being sold out. You’re really gonna like it. Lemme know if you do come down for that Twinkie series, my entire family is in MN and came down last year for a series. They are already talking about coming down for the one in late summer, too.
