They are cleaning it up. Went last year but we didnt get there in time to checkout the area. Used to be slums with the building of the stadium they did alot condemning of old buildings. Also the Metro is right near the stadium so you dont have to deal with traffic. Really nice stadium.

I live in DC and go to all the braves games here. They built the stadium first, and now apartments/retail/restaurants are going up. It'll be a few more years before there are good entertainment options around the park.

The good thing: tickets are dirt cheap. Several times I've been handed free tickets by someone on the metro or outside the stadium. Once, this old lady gave me two front row tickets for free (mind you i was decked out in braves gear). Turns out the seats were right behind the braves dugout. I could hear every word Bobby Cox said. Brian McCann gave me a ball.

Anyways, I've never payed more than $15 for a Nats ticket. And the ushers are very lax there so you can always sit in some good lower level seats no matter what your ticket says.

Also, they have a five guys in the stadium (upper level, right-centerfield).

This is GREAT to hear. I have a few relatives in Balt and we are trying to do a baseball weekend. Orioles/Nat's and maybe sneak up to Philly.

Went to my first Nationals game this season on Saturday. Tough loss, but so glad we didn't get that rain the weathermen were predicting.

But agreed, the Stadium is amazing. They really did an excellent job designing it, and all the local food vendors (Five Guys, Ben's Chili Bowl, Hard Times, etc.) just give it that little extra flare. A game at Nats stadium is always a good time.

And yet, in spite of our beutiful new house, and our winning team, we only get 18,000 fans on a good day! And it's unforgivable how we let opposing fans take over our park every game (The only solace is knowing how much money we get from Sox fans every time they play here. That 4-game series last year probably paid for Strasburg). We need this winning season in the worst way.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
