Ballpark Tours


Today is the first day tickets can be reserved for The New Nationals Park Baseball Tour. The Guided 75 Minute walk through The South Capitol Street Ballpark which will allow patrons to visit areas not usually open to the public. Highlights will include The Shirley Povich Media Center, The Nationals Dugout, Bullpen and Batting Cages. These $15 Tours will begin on April 19th. For that first Saturday and Sunday April 20th--there will be seven different times fans can choose to visit New Nationals Park Tours between 10:30AM and 4:30PM. After those dates--only four times can be scheduled: 10:30AM, 11:30AM, 1:30PM & 2:30PM.
This is very nice opportunity to see aspects of New Nationals Park you might not otherwise have a chance to come across. And Sohna and I know for a fact that our good friend and usher--"Coach" is very excited to be chosen to lead some of the tours.

In fact--we are digging Coach's Uniform. Nice.

I am so glad we are doing this, all the other ballparks do this and its really a great way to feel apart of the game and team.

Best tour I have ever been on and granted I have only been to MLB parks counting RFK and Nats Park was in Seattle at Safeco Field.

I wish we could have done this even at old RFK, Cant wait to really see our new home!
