If we had 24k last night, that is at least a 7k improvement over last year in terms of tickets. Probably no more than 20k actual bodies, unless there were about 3-5k hiding in the restaurants and clubs
I might not think along with the rest of the population, but the stadium alone is not enough to keep me coming back. It was nice, I suppose, but I just like old simple ****.
The actual upper deck seats suck compared to RFK. I sat basically in the Upper RF terrace (about same heght as IF gallery). It was pretty well up there compared to 400 level at RFK.
If you are up under the overhang, if feels like you are in your living room because they have actual indoor mood lighting overhead. Some might like that, but I left my living room to come to an outdoor game. Dont put me back in my living room when I get here.
Big plus to the common areas, the loft, general openings to view the game, etc. I'm spending nothing more than 5-10 dollars and am just going to roam the place in the future. Might try to get good seats from scalpers once and judge the lower/club level. Could have had 50 dollar seats for 25 bucks, but last night's budget was pretty low.
Unless the Nats dont want attendance stories to go away, they need to start slashing prices fast. The new formula should be: for every game we are below .500 take 50 cents or a dollar off the price. There really is no added incentive for people to go there more than once with the way the team is playing and the increased difficulty of travel.
