They are rented out to business's or group for events. We have actually seen them used--maybe not all of them--but a few most every game. The two Washington Suites that you write about--only used occasionally. I believe one of them is held for the eventual Naming Rights Holder for the stadium.Screech's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01094199653375184305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-11970219366099384012008-05-27T12:36:00.000-04:002008-05-27T12:36:00.000-04:00Here's something I have not seen addressed/answere...Here's something I have not seen addressed/answered:<BR/><BR/>There's maybe 10 large suites in left field accessible from the 2nd level of the club section. They are for rent, apparently, as we've seen in earlier posts with the menus and things. I've never seen anyone in them (sitting in the chairs in front of them). Are they not selling? Will they change the pricing to get people in them? Also every time I've been to the game I've seen no one in 2 of the Washington-level major money suites (the 2 closest to third base). Are these unsold also? Has the team figured out that the PNC seats are too expensive, that they lack an efficient market, and need to lower the cost to get people into them? Or is it impossible to do given the club access, etc.? I could see them selling the last couple of rows of those seats without the parking, without the food, for less. Not happening this year? Also it is painfully obvious which outfield seats are poorly priced - the ones right behind the right field foul pole. Takes a huge crowd to get anyone to sit there. They need to reassess their pricing schemes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-17634194192371906992008-05-26T22:14:00.000-04:002008-05-26T22:14:00.000-04:00NovaCath--Major League Baseball will not allow the...NovaCath--Major League Baseball will not allow the live play on the scoreboard--or close plays on replays. The issue of people constantly getting up and walking in the aisles during play has been a problem since day one. Ushers are suppose to begin enforcing allowing fans to walk down to their seats during play. That rule has not been overly accepted by many and it still does not stop folks from getting up from their seats and moving up the aisle. Sorry to hear about your dismay.Screech's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01094199653375184305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-30011876585215299332008-05-26T21:32:00.000-04:002008-05-26T21:32:00.000-04:00Question about the scoreboard.

Why do they not show the live play on the scoreboard instead of showing the batter walk up to the plate and then show the batter's home town and birthdate. Was this part of the scoreboard issues? (At Verizon Center, the new Jumbotron shows the live play as well as replays.) While we were at the game, I saw the back of the heads of the people sitting in front of me and could not see either the pitcher or batter unless I twisted my head into an really strange position as I am short and could not see over their heads. (I did not have this problem at RFK.) Also, folks kept going up and down to the concessions stands during play and then blocked the view of the outfield. I kept wondering why live play was not being shown on the scoreboard since I could not see most of the live play from my seat but could see the scoreboard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-32873529399645440282008-05-26T12:10:00.000-04:002008-05-26T12:10:00.000-04:00All this money and the Lerners couldn't splurge fo...All this money and the Lerners couldn't splurge for a Mac?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-69997449428165841912008-05-26T10:16:00.000-04:002008-05-26T10:16:00.000-04:00anonymous 10:06--you're right.

Apparently, when the Phillies were in town, a visiting laptop inadvertently introduced a virus into a Nats server. The virus deleted .exe files crucial to the running of the scoreboard I won't bore you with the technical details, but the fact that the scoreboard looked as good as it did is to the credit of a very talented group of folks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-42449689519431275302008-05-25T23:10:00.000-04:002008-05-25T23:10:00.000-04:00Great to see such a big crowd.

With the holiday and the great weather, I'm hopeful that tomorrow's crowd will be just as big (and that they'll all be rewarded with another Nats victory).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
