I think the answer is definitely yes. The ushers are unfailingly nice. The food and drink people are not efficient, but they are always nice. The greeters when they come and go: they are nice to me. They give free stuff to me all the time. I am going to break in my Nats' logo outside coffee cup tomorrow, and even though the Nats are in last place for the fifth time in six years, I am actually going to enjoy using the cup.<br /><br />Could the Nats do more? Yeah, they could sign a manager for more than one true year. But believe me, they appreciate us for showing up. (And I predict that next year they are REALLY going to appreciate us.)paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683734720896529408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-83218745350843580312010-09-14T23:16:13.485-04:002010-09-14T23:16:13.485-04:00This - http://tinyurl.com/28m9v7v -

I was at Sunday's game, and I was glad to see the Nats staff try to give some reason for excitement. Unfortunately, it didn't appear (apart from Pudge's excellent put out) that the Nats players were trying to do so.jwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15186014089449546587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-54442337027807206822010-09-14T21:16:01.943-04:002010-09-14T21:16:01.943-04:00I'm sorry you feel that what happened was a di...I'm sorry you feel that what happened was a disgrace but please allow me to correct you on one point. The fans that were given the Oakley's by me during Fan Appreciation Day in 2009 were in fact season ticket holders. They are still season ticket holders this season and their seats are now one section over. Like yourself, they were nothing but kind to me during my time at Nats Park and have been great supporters of the team.<br /><br />The Nat Pack is a great bunch and have rewarded many season ticket holders with give-a-ways over the years. However, as another poster stated, it is "Fan Appreciation" and not just "season-ticket holder appreciation." Unfortunately, you can't please everyone all of the time but I know the Nationals staff does their best to treat all fans equally.Yolanda Maklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07036647151585078800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-83722911885908977612010-09-14T15:18:37.261-04:002010-09-14T15:18:37.261-04:00Season Ticket Holders - get over yourselves. Seri...Season Ticket Holders - get over yourselves. Seriously. You struck a bargain with the team back in February for your seats. Case closed. The Nats must ultimately live or die by the good graces of casual fans. Should the Casual Fan be excluded from promotions? Is that what you are saying? If your answer is YES - than great. We'll shrink the park to 5500 seats and have a grand old time. Oh wait. That's the Frederick Keys. <br /><br />I had the very opposite reaction in the last game of 2005 - when the players came out of the dugout and handed Jerseys to everyone in the front two rows. It was a very public display of "let them eat cake" to those of us who save up for weeks to attend a ball game.wickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04456755574428351822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-79557231983060637112010-09-14T09:54:57.707-04:002010-09-14T09:54:57.707-04:00The club section is supposed to be SOLD OUT of sea...The club section is supposed to be SOLD OUT of season ticket holders..imagine you could find LOTS of season ticket holders there..just my guess..since I am in CLUB! :)Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02730086485930123228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-6050577129637190432010-09-13T22:51:37.852-04:002010-09-13T22:51:37.852-04:00Since you brought up the subject of random acts of...Since you brought up the subject of random acts of red and other giveaways.

I am sorry but we have had Clint way too many years now and I am getting pissed as a season ticket holder to see him giving things away to nothing but 20s nice looking woman.<br />How come woman like my wife, who is 50 never gets a chance to particapate? Why doesn't Clint give things away to men like myself?<br />If this was a "random act of Kindness" it should of been announced before the game that they were giving away airline tickets and then said what seats they were giving it out to.<br />One other thing, look at the picture. Clint was in the back row of section 403, you won't find any season ticket holders there, that is the $5 tickets.<br />Again everything is going wrong from the Nats, first on the field, then with those that manage the team and now the marketing department.<br />Nats better be careful, there are only about 9,000 season ticket holders, they could lose another 2 or 3,000 with all of these screw ups, I am wondering if I should give up my tickets and just buy the tickets the day of the game for half price on Stub HubUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15876769760008341688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-50312907927538844022010-09-13T14:23:46.307-04:002010-09-13T14:23:46.307-04:00Ahem.

These people were at the game, presumably they paid their way in, and if so there is no reason at all that they should get a nice prize. Basically, they got a door prize, and if other people there who happen to be season ticket holders object to that, I say they're totally off base. And I'm a season ticket holder myself.<br /><br />There are plenty of other benefits and rewards out there that season ticket holders get while others don't.An Briosca Morhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06855174362787324401noreply@blogger.com
