A walk around the perimeter of the
Fairgrounds, the new shipping container market and events space just north of Nationals Park on
land owned by Akridge. It will have its official opening on April 12, and will be open daily through the end of the 2012 baseball season. For today, though, it's a location for food trucks and some other food and drink sales for fans coming to the Nationals-Red Sox exhibition game.
The Fairgrounds entrance, directly across from the Navy Yard Metro station on Half Street. This is where Das Bullpen stood last year.
Half and M view.
Prepping for the arrival of fans later in the day.
Looking along the Fairgrounds wall, toward
Nats Park. The balcony at upper left is where bands will perform.
Half and N view, on the original Bullpen site.
Van and N view, with the Big Cheese food truck at far left.
Sneaking a peek across N at the temporary stadium box office. The team store is closed, too.
The view up Half Street from N.
Zooming along the 'wall', and seeing work still on-going.
One of the cut-out containers, which will be retail space when the market opens.
The Fairgrounds 'fence' along M Street, with Nats Park at rear.
Another view of the M Street frontage.
