I'm dragging my wife and daughter to Braves Fan Fest in January. I'm also thinking of driving up to KCMO for Royals Fan Fest the following weekend.

I have done it since 03. I would not recommend for you to come all the way here for it. The lines are a mess with the Comerica Park set up, and you can wait up to 2-3 hours in one line now because of it. There was even one booth you could only get to by going up an elevator. It was just a total mess and I wouldnt recommend it. When it was at Joe Louis Arena, it was a much more smooth set up, and easier to get more autos. It is also a pretty strict 1 per person now, with only one player at each table.

Well I already have tickets, so looks like I will be trying it out. I just mainly want to get a guy or two that I have trouble with during the year. Do a lot of players end up showing up for this?

I must know someone who knows someone......no problem.

I recall that you do know someone
