Mini Fenway to Open 2008

For an A to Z glossary of Fenway Park (everything you wanted to know and more!) go the official Red Sox site.

The Mini Fenway Park in Quincy will open as early as 2008. The major components include:

1. Fenway Park Replica, a kid size Fenway Park with a regulation youth baseball and softball field including all of the present day features of the real Fenway Park: the Green Monster, the Fisk and Pesky Poles, dugout, bull pens, red box seats, light towers, Citgo Sign, practice batting and pitching cages, the exact foot print of the historic field and 1912 Façade.
2. Legends Museum, a museum with both stationary and interactive exhibits that will feature baseball legends such as Carl Yastrzemski, the first graduate of the Little League System to make it to the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
3. Major League Baseball Fan Fest Area including interactive exhibits that replicate the actual MLB Fan Fest held annually at the All Star Game.
4. Theater shaped like a baseball diamond that features indoor clinics, lectures, baseball games and movies.
5. Food & Beverage consisting of a full service Restaurant with Function Rooms, Food Court & Concessions.
6. Souvenir and Pro Shop with the latest baseball and softball apparel, equipment and memorabilia.
7. Clubhouse for players and coaches traveling a long distance.
