For Sohna, who is small--it's in her vision of view. If you are 6' tall, the glass lip might be at your eye level. But we both did get use to it and it doesn't bother us anymore. I do tend to lean forward anyway. The Second Row does not have this problem, but what the first row does offer, outside of no one getting in your line of sight, is the opportunity to see everything going on below you as well, not just on the field.<BR/><BR/>Hope some of that helps.Screech's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01094199653375184305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-19883817608848418712009-02-18T08:43:00.000-05:002009-02-18T08:43:00.000-05:00I'm thinking of buying tickets in the front row of...I'm thinking of buying tickets in the front row of the club level. <BR/><BR/>I am under 6' tall; will I have to lean forward the entire game to see over the plexi-glass? <BR/><BR/>I know up in Baltimore the first two rows of any section upstairs are no good b/c of the railing; I fear the same in D.C. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for any info!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-13664799575223631702008-02-11T22:19:00.000-05:002008-02-11T22:19:00.000-05:00Great shot of infield Gallery seats, row A.

Any idea if the "picture frame" stays, or is this there to protect the edge of the glass during construction - in other parts of the stadium its not there! (like around the stairwells of the upper gallery).. in other stadiums (San Diego), its not there..<BR/><BR/>In any event, I probably have a legitimate gripe. These seats are obstructed view.<BR/><BR/>That, and $5 will get me a bottle of water, I'm sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-31546629873795263092008-02-11T21:13:00.000-05:002008-02-11T21:13:00.000-05:00On the infield gallery railing question--I did not...On the infield gallery railing question--I did not sit in the second row--honestly didn't think about it. But, the 2nd row has to clear the batting circle--if it did not you are talking about an entire level of folks that can't see the majority of the action. The Upper Deck is VERY STEEP. This stadium rises up decidedly. No way--there could not be a mistake like that to block patrons sightlines.<BR/><BR/>And yes--Chrystal works for Smoot--its just a hard hat.

I have a picture that will post up tonight of the left field foul line stands with The US Capitol Building. That shot clearly shows the railings. Hope that helps.<BR/><BR/>And yes, our understanding is Frozen Rope is a product.<BR/><BR/>And yes--I would prefer Pepsi--as well.<BR/><BR/>Natsva--what stands out at Nationals Park is the OPENNESS--like PNC Park in Pittsburgh and Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia--you can be anywhere--on any concourse level and still see the game. You can walk from right field to left field on the concourse in less than five minutes. I doubt you could have accomplished that at RFK Stadium.<BR/><BR/>I love Camden Yards, always will-and can never say anything bad about it. That ballpark--changed the game back to its roots--and everyone should be thankful for that.<BR/><BR/>New Nationals Park is going to be a great place to watch a ballgame. Unique in its own way. Sohna and I LOVE PNC PARK--and we got that same feeling this past friday--for the first time--about Nationals Park.<BR/><BR/>Yes, it will be cozy. A nice venue.<BR/><BR/>Glenn--those pictures are coming tonight.Screech's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01094199653375184305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-33031617513080645592008-02-10T12:06:00.000-05:002008-02-10T12:06:00.000-05:00SBF,Thanks for the great photo tour.In your collec...SBF,<BR/>Thanks for the great photo tour.<BR/>In your collection of pictures, do you have some snaps that show the width of the concourses and maybe a shot that shows the view of the field from the edge of the main, mezzanine and gallery concourses?<BR/><BR/>One of the strengths of this park design (DC, Phila, Pgh, SD) is to allow you to stay connected to the game while on the concourse. Grab a dog and a beverage and you can catch half an inning standing on the concourse. Phila even has small counter tops on the concourse railings.<BR/><BR/>Excellent info - I'll forward a link to my ticket partners.<BR/><BR/>GlennAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-56119830506272350532008-02-10T10:26:00.000-05:002008-02-10T10:26:00.000-05:00SBF-Some of the press articles i've read from othe...SBF-<BR/><BR/>Some of the press articles i've read from other publications who have toured the stadium have mentioned the cozy, intimate feel to it (the Baltimore Sun writer said it surpasses Camden Yards in that aspect-and compared the smaller feel to PNC Park in Pittsburgh). Did you get that sense when sitting in your seats?<BR/><BR/>Also, they should do a silohuette of the Capitol, Washington Monument and Lincoln memorial buildings on top of the restaurant.<BR/><BR/>Also just read that single game ticket info and the promo schedule will be released tomorrow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-29592168442215138902008-02-10T09:17:00.000-05:002008-02-10T09:17:00.000-05:00Both sets of photos are terrific--thanks.

We have front row seats in the LF mezzanine and I can't tell from your photos whether they placed normal or Plexiglas railings.
