If You're Headed To A Nationals Game, Check Out These Game-Day Tips!
Check out these game-day tips for attending a Washington Nationals game. How to get tickets, transportation, and food.
The temperature is rising in D.C. and baseball season is also heating up. The Nationals legitimized themselves as a top baseball team last season when they clenched the National League East Division Championship. If you haven't been to Nationals Park to see a game this season make it happen and use these game-day tips to make the most of the experience.
Getting Tickets:
The easiest way to get tickets is to order them online. My favorite site for booking tickets online is stubhub.com. After you find the tickets you want you can print them off straight from your computer. They also have a nifty visualizer tool that will show you what the view will look like for each ticket.
You can get seats for as cheap as $10 for some games but if you want to make the most of your experience I recommend paying a little more to get seats in the left field baseline section. The view is spectacular!
