Opening day was a blast. We got to the ball park around 5:15 pm – the card ride to our parking lot was short and sweet. The stadium is truly amazing- fantastic sight lines and our club seats in section 206 are fantastic – though a little too close to the edge as we are in the very last seats in the row. The game was incredible and when Zim hit the winning home run, my daughter jumped for joy. Overall, a memorable night that will long be remembered.

Walking the baseball
My wife and son joined me on the walk from RFK to the new stadium. 3 short miles and the opportunity for my son to see the racing Presidents - though inquiring minds want to know where Screech was.
The initial part of the walk was pure farce when no-0ne at RFK would let us in to the allotted parking lot 8. We spent the best part of 3o minutes driving around the stadium until we came across a rather strange Englishman by the name of Nigel who is Tony Kornheiser's sidekick and was the walk leader. Well, he is not really English though his attempts at portraying one would leave most believing he is. His humor helped make the walk a a success as was the fact we were given tickets for the exhibition game against the Orioles on Saturday.
Overall a good day that leads to the festivities of opening day weekend.

Welcome to the Blogging Nationals
Hi
Inspired by the work of Screech's Best Friend, I decided to start my own blog for the upcoming season. Having been part of a season ticket group since the beginning, I am looking forward to the new Ballpark and our seats in section 206.
I was born in the U.K. but have grown to love this game. I even gave up my Redskins tickets so I could continue to be part of Nationals history. There is something magical about this national pastime and I hope you will join me as we blog our way to history.
