Stadium: Nationals Park
Date Opened: March 30, 2008
Date of Visit: June 21th
Game: Texas Rangers vs. Washington Nationals
Nationals Park is a brand-new state of the art facility, replacing RFK Stadium as the National's home park. The stadium is simply beautiful. From the 101x47 ft HD scoreboard to the cherry blossoms behind the left field bleachers, everything in this place just screams 'awesome.' I can not wait to walk into this masterpiece of a building.
When we arrive in our nation's capital, we'll be taking in our second Rangers game of the trip, which makes this visit even more fun. That is, of course, if they win. We will be sitting right next to the Rangers bullpen, so we can talk to CJ Wilson, Eddie Guardado and the gang.
Flashy Nationals Park is just one of a slew of new ballparks that have opened or are opening in the next few years. Citi Field (Mets) and New Yankee Stadium (Yankees) are set to open next year, and the unnamed Twins Ballpark is set to open in 2010. The A's and Rays both have proposed stadiums set to open in 2012 and the 'Miami' Marlins will have a new stadium in 2011.
This game will be fun not only because the stadium is great but also because it is a Rangers game. Can't wait to get to DC!
