May @Nationals Series

[OriolesCloser]

I am planning on going. Any others?

Has anyone been there? Any recommendations on seats? 

This is my second post, but I've viewed for a long time. May the series prove fruitful to both teams.

Not sure on how you’re getting there but parking is awful. And by awful, I mean almost nonexistent.

Metro.

Mind if I asked, but would you spend hours in travel for an Orioles game?

I may decide to buy tickets to one of the games, but not until close to game day when I can pick a game where the weather looks good and choose the pitcher I want to see.   

It’s a very different ballpark than Camden Yards, not as charming but some people like the fact that it has an open concourse where you can kind of see part of the field while you’re walking around.

We go to a game there once a year and take the metro. Be sure to check the website to be sure there are not any station closures. We like to sit in left field section 107.

Working in DC, I go to a bunch of Nats games. Metro drops you off. Not sure what your budget is, but I typically buy a ticket in the nosebleeds and watch from their standing room only spots. They have them in left through center field and along the first and third base lines.

They do have Bens Chili Bowl, or at least they did last time I was there.

A friend of mine who has Nats seasons tickets in the 2nd row behind the dugout offered that I could buy his 4 seats and parking pass before he offered them to members of his ticket group.  I went online to see what they cost: $173 each, plus the parking is $47.50 I believe.  So that would be a $740 outlay.  Uh….no.   

Depends on the game, but I believe the equivalent tickets at Camden Yards are typically $95 or so.   

It will be interesting to see what similar tickets are going for on Stubhub as that game approaches.

Wednesday, beyond 3B. It will be our first game. How certain are the starters at this point?

I'm hoping my namesake is not needed, but it would be nice to see him in action.
