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.

6:35PM Friday Start At Nationals Park
Good thing The African Queen and I are paying attention to Charlie Slowes & Dave Jageler on WFED. Both last night and this evening, they reminded us that this friday night's game at Nationals Park versus The Atlanta Braves begins at 6:35PM--not 7:05PM. Honestly, we would have not noticed the time change on our season tickets. And as far as we can recall--Our Washington Nationals did not make any specific statement about this 6:35PM Start on July 3rd. At least some word that stood out among the usual releases.
Odd Time. We would love to know why?
Thanks Charlie & Dave!! We owe you two!!
Probably because Friday is a federal holiday and they have a 1:00 game the next day. An extra half hour of sleep for the team.
ReplyDeleteAnd, if they can stay out of extra innings and there are no rain delays, a good chance of getting the fireworks show in before the curfew.
ReplyDeleteWe heard it was due to the fireworks display, and not wanting to mess up the chance to get it off.
ReplyDeleteI guess the early start is to save time for the fireworks, especially if the game goes extra innings.
