Nationals Park, originally uploaded by gleefulgecko.

OK, I did the Orioles the other day now it was the Nationals turn for a great baseball game. The game was great, tied 1-1 into the 12th when the Braves went up 2-1, The Nats came back and won the game 3-2. Very fun. My first trip to the new stadium and I think it is pretty nice. Easy walk from Metro, good seating layout and overall a nice feel to the park. It was pretty quiet, it was an afternoon game with a smallish crowd but everyone seemed to pull for the team and we got to see the Braves fans leave early after their pitcher walked in the tying run in the 12th.

Ballpark food was pricey and the service was pretty poor, but hopefully they will get better as the season goes on. I was unaware of how difficult is really is to get a hot dog into a bun, apparently a team of three was needed. Who knew?

Overall I still prefer Camden Yards, but I have to say Nationals Park is pretty nice. Thanks to John and Mattie for having Charles and I along.
