Greetings from Washington


No one sends postcards anymore- so, consider this an electronic one.

Went to Nationals Park for a Nationals- Phillies game (Regular season game #3 for me this season). Well, I thought I was going to a Nationals' home game, but oh no, at least 60% Phillies fan. Extremely obnoxious! EXTREMELY! But then again, Nats' fans allowed them to get away with it. As we stood in line to enter the Park, Phillies fan dressed in a robe and chains?! lead about 20 Phillies fans into line whiling chanting "Let's Go Phillies!!" That ain't happening outside of the Cell or Wrigley or dare I say most MLB parks. Jayson Werth receiving more boos than cheers in his "home" park and greeted with numerous calls of "Traitor". Nice park but awful food service. Only vendors I saw anywhere were beer vendors (some of whom also sold peanuts). But no hot dog vendors or even cotton candy vendors patrolling the seats. Lines at the concessions took forever. Beer- $8 domestic.

I think you'll find that any game at Nats stadium will seem like a home game for the away team.
