Boston Post Race Party

In the Boston Information packet that came in the mail this week, there is a mention of a post-race party at Fenway Park from 6:30-8:30PM, but there is very little details about it in the packet or on-line. Does anyone know anything about this? I'm going with a group who would love to see a game at Fenway, but unfortunately, our travel schedule really isn't going to allow it. We're thinking this might be an OK alternative.

Anyone?

Never saw that before? Could be fun, I guess. I unfortunately have to leave on Monday night, but I've been to Fenway. it is worth the visit kind of like Wrigley Field.

I found this on the BAA site:
