However lamentably low the announced (and actual) Nats attendance may be, I will give the Nats organisation credit for one thing: at least their attendance figures are reasonably honest...certainly when compared to the Wizards who have fallen back on Susan O'Malley Math - I made it to all but two Wizards home matches this past season, many of which were at best half full but had announced attendances in the 16-17k range (the Phone Booth seats a bit over 20k for basketball) - Leonsis must be handing out freebies to various organisations by the boxcar-load (or is the front office just eating a few thousand tickets to make the figures look more respectable - the Wizards' non-corporate STH base isn't that big)...whatever, no need for Monumental Sports to insult people's intelligence with such numbers.

At least last night, Nats Park looked more or less like the 20k-and-change they announced.
