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."
UPDATE: Here's
the Examiner's the Associated Press's piece on the tour. And there's a second MLB.com article about the
logistics of the new ballpark, addressing issues such as acquiring parking lots and including the news that "The park will usually open 90 minutes before games -- two and a half hours before in the outfield plaza -- but on Opening Day it will open at 3:30 p.m. ET for the 8:05 p.m. game against the Atlanta Braves, giving fans extra time to walk around and see the stadium that Sunday afternoon, as well as deal with any delays that occur."
