 The ARTS@MSP program recently opened a new exhibit titled
“Best Game in the World,” featuring a wide array of vintage photos, facts and
memorabilia from Minnesota’s own wide world of sports.
From Native American games in the era prior to statehood, to
the popularity of fishing on our 10,000 lakes and the recent decades of major
league sports, Minnesota’s passion for sport is on display at Minneapolis-St.
Paul International Airport (MSP).
The exhibit is located on Concourse C in the Thomson-Reuters
Gallery, just past Vino Volo. Step off the moving walkway and take in the
treasures that will inform and bring back memories. The exhibit will be on
display through December 2018.

 Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport’s (MSP) ongoing
revitalization of its retail environment won accolades from a professional
association recently for the project’s design aesthetics.
The Metropolitan Airports Commissions’ (MAC) team from its
Concessions and Business Development office accepted the awards from the
Minnesota Shopper Center Association for interior design.
The Association selected the extensive renovation associated
with the “MSP Reimagined” program for the “Design and Aesthetics
Renovation/Remodel: Interior Retail over 15,000 square feet” award category.
MSP has opened 50 new concessions in the last two years, each involving
remodeling and design work.

One of those new airport retailers -- Angel Food Bakery and
Donut Bar -- was also recognized by the Association. Angel Food won the
interior design award in the Quick Service/Fast Casual/Fast Food division.
“In the last two years, MSP has transformed its commercial
space to bring on-trend products to the 38 million travelers who pass through
the airport each year,” said Liz Grzechowiak, the assistant director of
concessions and business development for the MAC. “We’re honored that our
team’s efforts and the resulting design work are being recognized by the MSCA.”
Airport staff coordinated the remodeling work to provide
consistent services to travelers, using a phased approach to construction. An
informational campaign also kept travelers in the loop.
More concessions are on the way as the MSP team is now
working on the second round of renovation involving more than 30 new restaurant
concepts.
