Nationals Ballpark: Washington DC
Posted by thecrosshairguide on Friday May 8, 2009 Under MLB
Surrounding area: needs a lot of work, lots of construction going on down on Half street, which will be really nice when completed per the renderings, but now, nothing really, no bars, no hotels, nothing to do.
Transporation in: metro stop 2 blocks away, very short walk. Green line metro
Cleanliness: extremely well kept, janitorial workers were making rounds continuously, great attention paid to appearance
Lighting/Color: lots of bright reds and blues, use of the logo was prevalent. Scoreboard was nice, no jumbotron though
Concessions: excellent variety, Bens Chili bowl, typical stadium foods, seat service had nice menu as well. Diamond club was fantastic! stayed open 1 hour past final out serving beer. Outfield restaurant, Presidents club, lots of F/B options.
Shopping: BOATLOADS of apparel and team stores, probably counted 10 on the mezzanine level alone.
Seats: from the look of it, there doesnt appear to be a bad seat in the house. Upper decks and outfield seats look to have excellent views.
Ambience: def more visiting fans than Nats fans, the Cardinals were in town and the stadium was full of Cards fans. Fireworks display after the game, not bad, although they do it from behind the first base line, so the sightline was pretty obscured by the upper decks.
