Nationals Park is an excellent example of how a baseball park should be designed. Simple, yet unique, with a dash of style. With the baseball season finally arriving, we’ve polled our team here and came up with the 11 must do’s at Nationals Park. Play ball!

The BullPen – Pre-game festivities galore with a sea of cornhole boards, live music, food trucks and lots of drink venues- margaritas, vodka lemonade, beer and more. This is where you go to get the day started! President’s Race



A fan favorite, who doesn’t love watching three overly sized Presidents running awkwardly to the finish line without toppling over. And now that Teddy has FINALLY won, they had to spice up the race even more – insert the Easter Bunny, who tackled all the presidents!? http://usat.ly/1D6k8XI Ben’s Chili Bowl – Visit this Washington institution’s outpost for a chili half-smoke, hot dog or our favorite, the chili nachos. With 60 years of history, this place has perfected that pre-game or seventh inning stretch meal. Under the Scoreboard Pre-Game with cheap-ish Miller Lites – used to be $5, now they are 6 – still, cheaper than the ten it usually costs during the game Hang out on the Red Porch during a day game – light crowds, table service, almost as good as Diamond Club

Diamond Club – worth doing once a year. sometimes tickets on stub-hub drop down to $100. All you can eat, all you can drink, hotdog mountains, nacho floats, full buffet, delivery service during the game, plush seat – NOT LEXUS CLUB!! let’s not get crazy – still, this deal is insane. and if you can get a good buzz while eating errthang in sight – my hats off to you Arrive early! Gates open up an hour before each game, allowing fans to explore the park, watch warm ups, get autographs and other various activities. Bringing food and drinks into the stadium. Why pay $5 for peanuts inside, when you are allowed to bring in the $1 peanuts they sell on the street? You are allowed to BYO-bottled water as long as the bottle is unopened. ( sneak in some airplane bottles and flasks if you’re looking for an even more fun time. ) On especially hot days, you can climb the stairs and sit at the top of the park to get a nice breeze (and a good shot of the Capitol).

Take your dog to a game! You and your pup can take in a game together at a Pup In The Park game, and a portion of the proceeds go to the Washington Humane Society. Check it out! Run the bases!



All kids, ages 4-12, have the opportunity to run the bases at National Park, after select Sunday regular season home games. And those that are Jr. Nationals MVP members (ages 12 and under) will get access to an exclusive line that puts them on the field first!

Side note: Nationals “home saves” will yield free Chick-fil-A sandwiches this season. So keep your ticket after they win!
