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.

      Most hated teams

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
