What is Minnie and Paul's?

New for the 2016 baseball season, Minnie & Paul's is located just above the center field wall and another new area - CATCH. While CATCH is a private, premium seating area, Minnie & Paul's is open to all fans and will provide great views of home plate from an elevated head-on position. A limited number of barstools will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Many of these are situated at the drink-rail, which runs the length of this open-air space. For fans with a ticket in an undesirable location, this is a great place to hang out and get a unique view of the field. Just be sure to arrive early enough to secure a stool and a spot at the rail.
