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.

      Never, and it doesn't have to be an old grizzled vet, sometimes a vet can learn something from a young player too.   Do you not see players talking to each other between plays, quarters, on the bench, wherever, in EVERY sport? It's what players do, especially the great ones, they're always working on their craft and learning tips from others to better themselves.   So when your entire receiving room outside of one player, who has mostly played special teams in his career, has played 1 season or less in the NFL, it's not a lot of experience there in the locker room and on the sideline and is a tad concerning in regards to the proper growth of all these young WRs with great potential.

      So me "putting my foot down" would be me spending more money each season to watch the games without sound at the bar? Do you not see how dumb that sounds? Streaming a game here or there isn't tough, but doing it for 17 games a season, when more than half the time the quality is terrible if it's even working at all, and it's just an awful experience to follow your favorite team. It's literally spending at minimum an extra $100 a season to have a worse viewing experience if I were to "put my foot down" as you say, and then don't get to also be able to easily watch all my fantasy players as a bonus on top. I spent at over a dozen years going to the bar every Sunday to watch us play, so now that I get to watch from the comfort of my couch, plus get all the other games, and spend less money doing so, yea, I'm going to pay that money without a second thought, it's a great deal for me and tons of other fans.

      I wanted Stroud as well because Reich only wanted folks who fit his scheme and he isn't a good enough coach to adapt to his players. Canales didn't have that choice and was hired knowing that his job was developing Bryce. To his credit he was able to embrace the challenge and make the necessary changes.
