The old one is still open. The new one is past the bar beyond the berm and the bullpen just on the curve to the new drink rails. I think the old one will go when the new construction starts in August.

 

You're talking about the little store at the top of the stairs coming into the stadium? I bought a Miracle cap in there last Spring. And then got to actually wear it to my first two Miracle games at the end of last season.

Yes that one is still open. It's about 6 times the size of the new one.

Interesting day again at the park today. The bus had left but alot of players still here practicing. As we've been afraid of, we were fenced out of an area today for the first time. It's getting like Boston around here. But some of the players did come over to sign autographs for fans, like Willingham, Kubel, Suzuki that I saw.

 

Afterwards we heard there was to be a photo shoot in the stadium, so with nothing else to do a few friends and I went in to see what was up. They were set up down the right field line and quite a few fans in the stands. We sat up in the 2nd deck in the shade. But as it was about to start they asked us to join in the group. They needed more butts in the seats. It featured Joe Mauer. He sat in the stands as a fan, and we posed and acted out different things they wanted, like the wave, catching foul balls, taking photos of the field, etc. It was actually fun and funny! It's for the Strib and the photos will be shown around the end of the month promoting opening day for what I heard. LEN3 passed out water bottles to us as it was hot. Just something I'll have to watch for around opening of the season.
