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.

Real Business Calls
Currently, I am away, unexpectedly, on a special tv assignment. We left on Tuesday Night. Unfortunately,I am in no position to write anything until this weekend.
WASHINGTON - For baseball fans, there is nothing better than taking the day off of work and heading to a ball game. Well, WTOP has learned the Nationals first season in their new ballpark will have only a handful of day games.
Nationals President Stan Kasten says there'll only be three or four day games on weekdays this season.
I find the announcement that there will be fewer day games during the week to be good news. I can't leave work in the middle of the day to attend these games, so I miss them altogether. I can catch the evening games. So, this means more games for me to see than I otherwise would be able to.
SBF, I hope you can catch Jon Miller more easily than we here can. It seems that 1000 in Chicao is the best connection, and it goes in and out. Another legacy of Sir Danny Snyder for buying the ESPN rights and then using weak stations.
Mike, that is true about night games, but I can't make ALL the night games either. It is nice to have a few (maybe 8) options throughout the season to fake a doctor's appt. for the afternoon
In Washington, DC, 800 workers attempt to design and build a $650 million baseball stadium in less than two years. Danny Forster finds out if they can finish the 41,000-seat Nationals stadium, complete with the largest scoreboard in the US, on schedule.
SBF, when you get back home, you might want to check out the stadium cameras. There are new angles inside the park, and they will be installing the turf very, very soon.
Funny thing today. Somebody posted on the Nats board that after looking at the pics on-line, he was wondering if the park would be ready by Opening Day. I had the opposite reaction---is there any DOUBT the stadium will be ready now? So much has been completed and it's not even November yet!
Hopefully you were able to catch (or DVR) the new episode of "Build it Bigger" last night on The Discovery Channel all about the new Nats Stadium.
ReplyDeleteI saw the last 3 minutes of that last night! I'm so disappointed I didn't hear about it prior to stumbling across it too late
ReplyDeleteIt should be replayed again soon. Check the website.

ReplyDeleteMy prediction has long been that the new ballpark with be called "Discovery Field."
ReplyDeleteThis isn't real business?
