What a great Ballpark

Our family recently took a trip to Washington D.C. While we of course took in all the sights of D.C. we also took in a game at the Nationals Stadium. Every summer trip usually means a stop in a MLB stadium or a Minor League park somewhere.

We were totally impressed with the game experience at the Nationals Stadium. From the minute we ordered tickets on-line to the game to the post game email asking us about our experience this was customer service as it should be. If all sports venue treated their fans like this we would all go to more events.

The staff at the stadium was attentive and all the stuff going on before the game on their center field plaza from bands playing, having the four Presidents from Mount Rushmore in costume and dancing on the party plaza - it was a party atmosphere. The Philadelphia Phillies were in town and they brought a lot of fans with which created almost a play-off like atmosphere.

Our kids got their pictures taken with all the Presidents and Screech the Nationals mascot and we even got a free bobble head of Nyjer Morgan as the game giveaway.

I had a "Half-Smoke" from Ben's Chili Bowl a D.C. legendary eatery and it was tasty.

The stadium is laid out perfectly with a huge entry point in center field and this is only one block from the Metro (their subway). Easy to get to and love the accessibility.

Oh yes and it was a great game as the Nationals won 7-5 with a 3 run walk off home run by Ryan Zimmerman. A perfect summer night watching baseball at the perfect baseball park. Great job by the Nationals. If you're a baseball fan you will love this park.
