The highlight of the new food items has to be the Build Your Own Burrito/Nacho carts. For $7-$8, you can pick between beef or chicken and then load up with a bevy of toppings. The carts will be deployed in both the Upper and Lower bowls of the park, so fear not 500-level ticket holders. The Sox will also open a Wine Bar in the Lower Level this year, with a glass going for $7.50-$9.50. Lastly, luxury box patrons will also be able to order a mega 2-foot, 2-lb meatball sandwich, but unfortunately, those will not be available to the general public. I'm also looking forward to the Taste of the Ballpark special that will be available in the Upper Deck. $7.50 for a hot dog, pop, small nacho, and bag of popcorn is an awfully good deal... Pending the hot dog doesn't turn out to be a cocktail weine and there's more than 1 chip with the nachos.
On the less edible side of things, the highlight of this offseason's round of renovations is the new Out of Town scoreboard above the concourse in right field. You of course remember the old, slow board. Yes, it was antiquated and yes, the board was generally at least an inning behind in out-of-town scores (which was utterly ridiculous now that you can just check the scores your own if you have an iPhone, Blackberry, or some other web browser on your cell phone), but the old board did have some charm and it was one of the last features of the park that had lasted since it opened in 1991. That said, the new board does look very, very nice.
