Anyone been before? How does it work? What should one bring? Is it just a giant autograph session?

I have never been to this particular fan fest, but from what I know, there are activities, food, mine has a card show, different exhibits, the HOF has a traveling museum, many HOFers set up their own booths, other leagues in MN, and all the minor league teams set up.

Yes, there are autographs, no, that is not all there is (if yours is remotely anything like ours)

I have been there when I was a kid and it was a great time.
There are alot of vendors, white sox merch and memoribilia and autographs.

Here is a pretty good article that I read.

Just picked up tickets, and they gave a detailed itinerary. Photos with players, autos, etc. More interested in the photos since autos from players are being using as toilet paper here at this point....I have enough

Plan on having Beckham hold all the plates and 1/1's in the picture!
