Beginning in 2005, The African Queen and I enjoyed Section 320 at RFK Stadium. Our Washington Nationals and the Nats320 Blog came to life for us there. Since 2008-we've sat in Section 218 at Nationals Park, but our blog name has not changed. Our roots are in Nats320-and we will never forget those good times. But, as always, we will attempt to provide fun, information and commentary about Our Washington Nationals. All photos, unless otherwise attributed-COPYRIGHT Nats320--ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

The Yanks ARE COMING!! SO ARE THEIR FANS!!!#*#*#
Nats320
Fellow 320's--MickNats and I attended the New York Yankees/Baltimore Orioles game on Saturday Afternoon at Camden Yards. There was a sellout crowd of 48,195 in attendance. But what was really stunning was the amount of Yankees Fans at the park. THIS WAS AN ABSOLUTE HOME GAME FOR THE YANKS!! It is no exaggeration that at least 25,000 were rooting for NEW YORK. It may even have been 30,000. Our section down the left field line had about 5 others rooting for the O's beside Mick and I. The Orioles have a few less season ticket holders than the Nationals 16,000. Since only single seats are now available for all three Nationals/Yankees games at RFK in 2 weekends, you can bet RFK and the Nationals Fan Base is going to be challenged mightily for the weekend series.
The Mets have outragously ugly fans, but the Yankees might even be more smug and worse. Its going to be interesting!! Hope we can shut them up for 2 out of 3 games.
I can just hear it now

Yank ees Suck!!
I'm interested to see the Yank fans response, both Washington and Nationals are three syllable words and do not fit into a Sucks cheer. Maybe they'll just cry and go home (to bad sarcasm doesn't translate when typed).

No big surprise on their turnout, the NY fans have always represented well at Camden, as have Boston fans (so much so that Dan called it "Fenway South" (great line)...
