There apparently was a media tour at Nationals Park today--check out Barry's blog to see updated photos of the stadium. And MLB.com has a long description of all the locales seen on the two-hour tour, including the locker room, the club lounges, and more, such as the outfield plaza, which includes the " 'Strike Zone' kids' area, featuring games, activities, picnic tables and a baseball-themed jungle gym for children four and under. Running along the side is a series of shops, including 'Build-a-Prez,' a shop operated by the Build-a-Bear company that will allow kids to construct their own racing president."

A thought: With more than a dozen DC public schools closing at the end of this school year, and the Fenty administration stating that they have no intention of selling off the buildings, wouldn't one or two of them make a good location for a school bus parking lot? Or, at the very least, a better location than some of the locations currently being used?
