Nationals Park Bud Light Loft

Was there for a holiday party- an unusual choice compared to the normal renting out of a bar. It's pretty, and good for people with kids but too expensive. I'd have expected for the price of a ticket you'd at least get a free drink or snack. Perhaps with a camera more advanced than one in a cellphone, it could produce some cool pictures.

Top choice to pregame! $5 bud and bud light until 30 minutes before start time with great bbq option next to the bar. Craft beers and wines also available. Lounge sofas, high chairs with tables, and lots of standing room provide great views of the game before heading to your seats.

Great place to watch games, place is getting all tight up with buying tickets from machine and getting food at stall. Price are getting super high as well with beer for 15 bucks and so is cocktails. But worth it if you go before game and buy ctuff as its cheaper. #frederick #localguide #WashingtonDC #DC

The Diamond club food has really gone downhill the last few years but all the servers are great. Great atmosphere.

Great place to either pregame or hang out at in the shade during a hot summer game. Plenty of space plus standing-room-only tables. To get here you can walk up the stairs from the Brewhouse below, or take the escalators up to the second level of the stadium and then walk across the concourse behind the scoreboard.

This is our meet-up, and most times, game viewing area at Nats Park. Awesome BBQ close by.

I've been here a few times, usually it's decent. Acceptable service with overpriced food and beer, par for the course at any stadium. Tried to get a table last week during a game and was told there was an hour and a half wait. I looked outside and counted no less than 10 empty tables. There were no line ups or crowds of people waiting to be seated. They took my name and phone number so I could be texted when a table was ready. Clearly I'm not going to wait an hour or more so we went back to our seats. Within ten minutes I got a text, but wasn't about to walk all the way back. For a place that's only opened during games and events, you'd think they'd be smart about getting people in those seats and serving them those expensive beers. Someone needs to be fired because this place is turning people away and leaving tables empty.

we were served by Don, he is personable and a pleasure to work with. The view to the field is great and bathrooms are convenient. They have large cooling /misting fans which are great but a bit noisy

The food quality is terrible. The food selection isn't great. The food is expensive. The service at the food stands are poor. The neighborhood isn't the greatest. The product on the field is terrible. We are there for the other team. Plus, we had giveaways stolen from Nationals fans when we went for some refills of soda. When we came back, our stuff was gone and so was the people in the row in front of us. I asked if anyone saw anything and one of the Nats fans told us it was a lady in green Nationals jersey. I texted security. Security took down the information. 20 minutes later, the security guy came back with replacement giveaways for us. I appreciate the customer service. That was good. Bonus: it was a game where we could locate ourselves in the stadium. When I zoomed in on our section, the 4 thieves faces including the lady in the green Nationals jersey were right there. I forwarded to Nationals security. I doubt they can do anything. But if I was a jerk, I would have posted the picture of the 4 thieves on social media and asked the community to RT and try to identify them by name. But I didn't do that. I will let karma take over. Nationals can improve on EVERYTHING but security and customer service is very good! Keep it up!

Nice relatively new ballpark. Comfortable seating areas and at least three Ben's Chili Bowl stands. We went to a giveaway game against a division rival. 38,000 people attended the game and almost everyone stayed for the end of the game. This resulted in a bit of chaos to enter the Metro station because there wasn't an organized entry line.

3 stars for the rude service staff and stand vendors! That said, it was an okay ballpark. Very easy access to parking adjacent to the ball park. The hotdogs were tasty, prices were a bit high though. On a 102 degree day they won't give you a cup of ice, they want to charge you for the cost of a soda$7.49!

We came to DC specifically to see the stadium which I thought was very wide open and spacious compared to our home park. I like that they do kids eat free, that was a nice touch considering you have to spend a fortune regardless at these games. Cons: staff seemed generally unpleasant, upsetting that we didn't get the bobble head even though we were early (but saw a couple women with over 6 of them), they also ran out of the first game buttons fast, a drink vendor charged my card for a couple who ordered before me, the lines getting into the stadium were like kindergarten before single file was taught, difficult to get to photo section to see presidents Pros: stadium is beautiful, my son loved it, kids meals come with baseball cards, good crowd around us/great view section 110, the park gives deals to us healthcare workers on tix, park seems to have some fairly lively pregame celebrations

Best entertainment value in Washington DC. Tickets as low as $9. Kids eat free all summer. Generous outside food policy (you can bring in anything you want except non-water beverages). Great sightlines from virtually every seat in the park.

A couple of friends and I recently won a raffle on a private suite at Nationals Park, for the "Beltway Series," where DC would have a three game homestand against their neighbors up I-95, the Baltimore Orioles. It's been a good six years since I've been to a Nats game, so I was looking forward to spending an evening hanging out and watching a game in a "fancier" setting rather than my usual bleacher section. Growing up, I fondly recall taking the B train and exiting at the 161st station to watch my beloved Yankees at "old Yankee stadium". The "Bronx Zoo," "the House that Ruth Built," or whatever moniker you wanted to ascribe, was a mecca for all baseball fans. Getting to Nationals Park is easy enough via Metro. Take the escalator ride up from the Navy Yard stop and then make the short walk across the street and the security screening efficiently admits you into the facility. BTW - do yourself and those of us in line a favor, and familiarize yourself with the bag policy. A few patrons who did not read the policy ahead of time, held up the lines arguing with the guards who refused entry...and those hard working folks are just doing their job people! I felt like a VIP as I and 17 others (since we were lumped in with another group to keep the cost of the suite reasonable) were let through roped off sections, and then ushered into our private suite. The room was nice enough, but with 15 adults (and 3 kids) the space was a bit tight. An attendant was assigned to our suite and made sure that food was constantly refilled, garbage emptied, and responded to whatever else requests we might have had. Food was just...okay. There was a selection of cold items such as sandwiches, veggies with dips, and salads. The hot foods were kept in warming trays and consisted of hotdogs, and chicken wings. TBH, I found the food to be quite underwhelming. The hotdogs were flavorless and even though there were grill marks present, they tasted bland. I needed to add a bunch of sauerkraut, mustard, and relish to make it palatable. The wings had a nice crispy fry to them, but again, lacked seasoning. Luckily there was some of DC's namesake "Mambo Sauce" to drizzle on. Sandwiches were probably the best thing I ate; and I did appreciate that there were buckets of popcorn and bags of Cracker-Jacks to snack on. There was also a fridge full of beer, water, and sodas which came with out suite package. Seating wise, there were nice padded seats which provided a view along the 3rd Base line to enjoy the game. I'm used to sitting in the hard plastic "cheap seats," so this was a nice change and made the 2+ hour game a pleasure to watch. And I must admit, having access to a private bathroom (which was constantly cleaned and attended to) was in and of itself, worth the price of the suite! The Nats wound up taking the first game of the series 3-0, thanks in part to timely hitting, speed on the basepaths resulting a stolen bases, and solid relief pitching. While my group had a great time and enjoyed the experience, an evening at Nats park (along with most professional sporting events) is simply a pricey proposition for most ppl nowadays. I had the opportunity at one point in the evening, to chat with the guy who donated the suite for the charity raffle, and I was shocked when he told me how much this room is priced for a game; and to get these types of suites, you usually have to buy a season package. Trust me when I tell you, it's "not cheap." As we were leaving the stadium, I glanced up at the menu for concessions and with hotdogs costing $9 and beer between $8-$12 - costs for a family or an individual add up quickly. So it'll probably be another couple of years before I'm at a Nats game again...and on the next visit, it's back to the "nosebleed section" for me.

What a great place to catch a Giants game in DC. entry was so easy. Staff were all friendly and kind. Great site lines. Plentiful food options. Dining was well above ballpark standard. Excellent selection of beers.

It's for a modern park quite nice. Have been here ten plus times. Am biased and spoiled as a Red Sox fan, as Fenway has ruined all baseball stadiums for me. I'll take that back, as Baltimore's Camden Yards is phenomenal. Yes Washington's stadium has a lot of amenities. Unfortunately the passion is lacking. A proper baseball stadium has fans whom are fanatical. Here arm chair at best, as it's a social club for many. Parking is a nightmare. Go metro. As for the seats they are average at best. Food options and prices are outrageous. $15 for a can of beer is nuts. On a plus note lots of bathrooms, and the Kennedy Cooling Room is a solid idea. This is a nice looking place, but it seems to be missing out on some character. There are no bad views, so that is a positive.

I love going to Nats Park for a game. Lots of good food choices. Easy metro access. Great seat options all around. Fun give aways. Hard to review a one of a kind city attraction. Not like you can head to NW DC for a baseball game. Enjoy and Go Nats!

Go Nats! We enjoyed seeing a game on Father's Day. The stadium is clean, well staffed, & had a large variety of concessions. I found the restrooms to be clean & stocked! Parking was a nightmare - but we were newbies at parking. If you're traveling here, would suggest coming more than an hour early to get parking or researching places to park & walk to the game. I ABSOLUTELY loved that they had. POW MIA stadium chair reserved. What an honor! Can't wait to catch another game!

Not a bad ballpark! Last week, my friend Lane and I bought the cheapest seats we could at the gate for the Nationals - Orioles game. The view was not bad at all! There are plenty of good food and drink options. Exiting the area was easy after the game. My only complaint was entering the park. The gates are relatively spaced out from each other, and the lines weren't moving too quickly. However, getting to and from the park is a breeze thanks to it being so close to a metro station.

Great venue for baseball. Decent size stadium, and has plenty of options for your typical ball game food items.

This place is an easy walk from Navy Yard metro station on the green line. Even my mom who needs a wheelchair for longer walks was able to make it from the metro to the stadium. If you're not in the nosebleed seats (section 400s), you're guaranteed shade since there's a built in shade cover. Otherwise, you may be roasting. I found the seats behind the home plate tend to be in the shade the soonest if you're watching an afternoon game. Don't miss all the freebies for kids - from autographs 60 minutes before the game starts to running the field 1 hour after the game ends. There's also free charactures, face painting and balloon making near section 145 of the seats. And there's multiple kids eat free stands where kids under age 12 get a hot dog, chips and bottled water.

It's always fun to go to a Nats game! The atmosphere is great, and everyone's having a good time! It's pretty easy to get into the park. Usually there are not major lines. Make sure you review their bag policy. If you bring a bag, they will make you pay to put it in a locker own the street. You are allowed to bring an unopened water bottle and save yourself from buying one for $6. All the food is very overpriced, but that is no surprise. The good news is that they have lots of yummy food vendors inside, including Shake Shack and Roaming Rooster. Our most recent visit was extra fun because the Nats beat the Cincinnati Reds!

Excellent outing at Nationals Park which hosted the Uncorked event...overall great outing. The check in process could have been smoother...aside from the check in, the food was off the charts...so what I am a foodie...combined with the many wines available foe tasting I was more than pleased.

I love baseball so when i saw my Yankees were coming to town i jumped on the tickets! We lucked up as our seats were top tier! The stadium is always clean and nice. Staff is always helpful and nice

I love coming by here for a Nats game. Perfectly located in the Navy Yard I always try to stop by whenever I am in town. I enjoy coming out of the Metro with a large crowd of Nats fans. You walk by all the large buildings and restaurants packed with crowds of people. Entering the stadium is fairly easy. You instantly see the large billboards and food options before you reach the field. There are large crowds of people who come down from the upper levels to get a better view. I usually end up here during a fun game to enjoy the crowd experience. I had a great time here. I did not order any food and alcohol as the prices are usually sky high. I ate at one of the several bars near the park which was great. Unfortunately the rain started coming down by the sixth inning which ruined everyone's day. I did bring my umbrella but others did not which caused some hectic situations. It did stop by soon after which was appreciated. Afterwards check out was fairly smooth. Everyone was going through the same couple of exits. Most people went to other local bars for drinks and parties. It is the Navy Yard so the area was already packed with people going out on the weekends. I would come back here again for another fun game day.

Had a really good experience at uncorked wine festival. I needed to get something on my stomach before I started drinking. There were a number of food trucks. I love empanadas so of course I checked out empanadas de mendoza and let me tell you I was not dissappointed. They had 4 options chicken, beef pork and cheese, I chose the chicken and pork options. The empanadas were so tasty and flavorful. The crust was flaky the chicken was perfectly seasoned and the pork was the same. I was very happy with my choices. After eating I was ready for wine and other options. I purchased the VIP option so my first stop was the prisioner/unshackled winery, I tasted a white wine name Sal Do it was good slightly fruity and not to dry. Then I went to Austin Hope/Treana/Quest and had the Sauvignon Blanc wine. It was tasty a little dry but tasty. Next I went to a new winery name Flygirl. I met the owner who was really nice. Her wine is the type of wine you have with your girlfriends at brunch or by yourself. Flygirl is a wine you can drink the whole bottle and then ask yourself "did I drink the whole bottle" lol! Next I stopped at a table that has an alcohol delivery app called Boozevilla. So if you are looking for an optional replacement for drizzly check out Boozevilla. They also had a wine which called Vinho Verde it is a Rose' which was ok it was fruity however for me it had a slight aftertaste that I didn't care for. My next stop was Voju which was a cocktail drink made with yogurt, I tried the the peach flavor. It was ok, again the aftertaste I didn't like. After the first round of wine I needed something on my stomach so I tried badd ass pickles which makes well pickles lol!. I got the sampler which had 6 (six) different flavor (dill, ghost pepper, oldbay, eb, spicy garlic and swamp venom) they were all very good but I was scared of the ghost pepper lol!! I am not a big fan a hot/ spicy. Off to the alcohol I tried McClintock Distillery company where I tried the coffee liquior which was very good and something to add to your morning coffee. I also tried bootjack which is a rye whiskey. I am not a big fan of rye however this one was smooth and it didn't burn. Then I went to Redemption whiskey. They made a blackberry punch which was amazing. It was very refreshing with a bold taste of blackberry although the backberry was bold it was the perfect mix. I went back for seconds. And last but not least I went to the the Jose Cuervo and 1800 tequila table. I am glad I saved this table for last because the margarita was good and strong. All-in-all I had a really good experience at this event the music was good and the variety of wine and alcohol vendors were really good. If you are a fan of wine, enjoy tasting new and different wines and have never been to an uncorked wine festival do yourself a favor and go you will not be disappointed!

While I've only been to two stadiums in life, the Nationals Park is a new favorite. I attended a game today and was very impressed with the attention to detail that this park bestows. From special ADA + family entry lanes to an entire Kidzone. This park has a sensory room! That is amazing. The staff members are friendly. The tots are delicious- I mean, Mac n cheese on top of tots with pulled pork?! Wow! The atmosphere is very family friendly. My primary pro tip: if sitting underneath bleachers, pigeons are a problem. Almost got pooped on several times. The aisle attendant helped clean up seats and offered to allow me to switch seats.

Buyer beware. Bought a completely clear stadium backpack within the stadium dimensions. Clear apparently is not more important than backpack. They "graciously" said if I RIPPED OFF the straps I could bring it in. For the love.... It is completely clear.

Wonderful stadium that hosts wonderful events. Being in navy yard, there's naturally a bunch of traffic on game day, especially if multiple events are happening, but the trade off gets you an extremely metro accessible, walkable area around the stadium. That is the best part of having the stadium positioned where it is. The stadium itself is great. No complaints

Joined my college's DC alumni group for an evening at Nationals Park. It'l was my first time here for a baseball game and wow was impressed with how quickly I got into the stadium! Hoards of people, but it went very quickly. Stadium is easy to navigate and there are plenty of food options. I grabbed a hot dog from Shake Shack on the way to my seat because there was no line! Our seats were in the sun for the better part of the game, but at least it wasn't brutally hot. It was a quick game and the Nats won, so that was fun!

So for me when I read a review what I really want to know is if the person writing the review will actually go back and do business at this particular location again. Absolutely YES!! I have been to 11 Baseball Stadiums over the past 3 years, my goal is to get to all of them. This particular stadium is so far my 5th or maybe my 6th favorite. The food was OK, the condition of the stadium was great and the ability to navigate in and out was awesome. Can't wait to come back again!!

Even the team has one of their worst years, the former World Series Champion have a beautiful stadium. Activities to keep the crowd engaged, from the presidents race to sometimes a live band just inside the stadium gates, this is a fun family event. The Red Porch is a sit down bar & Grill where some seats you can still see the field. Full bar service with Buffalo Trace as their Bourbon selection!

Chili cheese fries were good. Need more variety of foods! Need more interaction with fans between innings to keep them engaged. The exit after the game was the worst experience I've had! The gate rep made me throw out my souvenir cup because it still had soda in it. I can understand if it was alcohol! I paid more for my souvenir cup and I was forced to toss it in the trash! He wasn't even nice about it!

I've also been here for a Lady Gaga concert. Here's the thing about outdoor ballparks designed for baseball: the sound quality for a concert isn't going to be amazing. If you attend a concert here, I would strongly recommend staying in the 100s. You don't get a good view from the upper levels and the sound quality up there is not good. I had an excellent time in the 100s off the third base side - but the people I knew in the upper levels didn't. Those seats are great for baseball games though. As a huge baseball fan on their journey to see all 30 MLB stadiums, I'll never think a ballpark is bad. Nationals Park is a great way to spend a weekend with some friends. The ballpark suites people who aren't into baseball pretty well: the second level has a decently hang out area by right field (right behind the scoreboard) with music playing (and a shake shack with a long line). The park has a lot of cues for when to clear/clap and the scoreboard is visible in basically every part (except the second level right field). It's a very solid ballpark. There's nothing that really stands out - but there's also nothing that's bad about it. The world series trophy and other memoriablia do require championship club special tickets (usually the third most expensive section at Nats Park) so it is a bummer that most fans won't be able to see it. There's not a lot of history littered in the park, though there are some pictures of Max Scherzer's no hitters in the first level behind home plate and a large championship parade photo on the second level right field. Unfortunately, there really aren't any mentions about Juan Soto or Trea Turner or Stephen Strasburg in the general concourse - all of that is tucked away in the club-level seats. There is also an abundance of club/suite tickets that it creates a very corporate feel to Nationals Park - at times, it feels like the place was built for salespeople to schmooze clients or for networking events. This is probably a broader DC problem but it's not an ideal culture for a ballpark. When the team is good, the stadium is very lively - but ever since the Soto trade, it doesn't have the same vibe to it anymore; it feels like most people there are not big baseball fans (which is fine - but don't expect the fan atmosphere you'd see in the other East teams).

Great viewing throughout the park, architecture is "meh". Ample food choices, dogs were tasty. Background Attended a Memorial Day weekend late afternoon game. High 90, mostly sunny skies. Sat on lower-level third-base side. Washington hosted Seattle. The Senators beat the Pilots 3-1. (No truth to the rumor that Frank Howard returned and hit the game-winning homer.) Stadium There's a specific reason we chose the third-base side and it proved a wise decision. We read in Yelp that the first-base side receives full sun during afternoon games. The reviews didn't lie. For shade, sit left. As with all the new stadiums the sight lines are excellent from virtually every seat. However I was disappointed by the view of the outfield. There's nothing particularly memorable about it. There's an open gap in left field where you can see - the Capitol area? No. Monuments and museums? No. Historic buildings? No, on all counts. Instead, we get to see a newly built apartment structure and yes, a parking garage. What a missed opportunity. The park has easy access from the Metro and there are a couple new hotels within walking distance. You can probably park in that garage across from left field. The fans were great, by the way. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable without being rude. Food A big thumbs up. The hot dog was truly plump and flavorful. Later my wife and I each had a Korean Dog. These were wonderful. Overall there's truly a wide variety of both typical and somewhat eclectic baseball fare to choose from.. What's Unusual? I don't believe I've ever attended a 4 pm game before. I liked it! Avoided the peak heat but still saw day baseball with plenty of time to do other things after the game. I'm aware of the reasons why most games are started earlier or later, but I'd be in favor of scheduling more of these late afternoon starts. I really liked the Nationals' City Connect jerseys. Gray with cherry blossoms. Classic, beautiful and truly reminiscent of DC. Summary The fans were great, the food was terrific, the park itself was...OK. Overall, we enjoyed our visit.

The ballpark staff is kind and making sure everyone is having a positive experience. The stadium is clean and easy to navigate.

This was our first time visiting Nationals Park, I always wanted to visit after a Friend told me how nice it was. So we finally paid them a visit since our Home team the Baltimore Orioles was playing them. We had a great time, we were seated in Centerfield with all around great views of the Stadium. It's a nice Stadium, but not as nice as ours , sorry I'm bias, Lol. It's located in the Navy Yard area with plenty of Hotels, Restaurants and Sports Bars. Inside the Stadium they have a wide selection of Food Vendors but they are pricey. It's easy to access via the Metro and Subway Stations which is right next to it. The Ambiance was festive, I loved the President Mascots and they had a Presidential Mascot Race during a break in the game, that was funny. Their main Mascot is the American Bald Eagle sorry I didn't get a picture of him. But overall we had an awesome time and would like to return when they play our Team again.

A large group of friends and I came to Nationals Park on a Friday afternoon to watch a game and kick off our holiday weekend. We booked our tickets ahead of time online, using the group tickets page which I highly recommend! It was an easy process and we were able to group our seats together how we wanted (we wanted to do a few rows, rather than one long row). Once we arrived we were pleasantly surprised by how many GOOD food options are at the park. We did eat across the street before we came, but next time will plan to eat at the park. A lot of people in our group still grabbed snacks/drinks and had no issues moving through the lines fairly quickly (even though they were pretty busy). Food: I did sample some chicken fingers with mumbo sauce and I must say it was DELICIOUS. I am not a native so I don't have a long history with mumbo sauce, but the cart selling the chicken fingers/mumbo sauce was great. Drinks: Although pricey, I tried one of the spiked lemonades a woman was selling on foot (IDK if that makes sense - it wasn't a cart but she had them strapped to her to come up and down the aisles) and they were both strong and tasty. I'd say it was worth it! Staff: All of the staff at the park seemed to be in a good mood and helpful when asked questions. Notes: (1) Check the bag policy before you come to the game. We all had small fanny packs but that was AFTER we saw online that certain purses wouldn't be allowed. (2) It's Navy Yard. Parking/traffic is hectic on game days so think about what your best travel option to and from the game is ahead of time. All in all I like Nats park and look forward to attending some more games this summer!

Star Wars day was AWESOMEEEE!!! What a great game. Not only did we win, but they found tons of ways to incorporate stars wars theme throughout the game. We actually celebrated my bf birthday at this game so I got his name on the announcement Jumbotron. That was $100 to do, but it went by really quick during the 5th inning. I wish they went slower or kept it on the screen for a little longer for the money spent. We got the FIS Champion club seating which is always nice because they have better food options and drinks. If I remember correctly the food options they had were sandwich sliders like pork, beef, and chicken. They had ice cream, speciality drinks and more. You do still have to pay for food and drinks even though you're paying for club seating FYI. I think the PNC Diamond club is the one that includes your food and drinks. You can watch the game on the screens inside if you want. I did not get the tatter tots from FIS. I got that on the lower level near the entrance. On the left side of the stadium.

My wife and I are big baseball fans and though we're Yankees fans, we love visiting all parks and are working on seeing all of them. We've been to the Nationals Park twice now and it's a fun park overall! The seats in the upper deck are comfy and the views of the game are great. Food and drinks are pretty standard, but we were able to find some good beer and popcorn. The highlight of the game is definitely the Presidents Race and it's always so silly and fun, which is great to see. The park is also located to lots of good restaurants and bars, so you can easily make a full day of the game. It's a fun park and one we'd visit again!

My first time at this ballpark and I was surprised how nice it was. It is large and has elevators, escalators and stairs depending upon your physical condition. Parking lot C was the closest one we parked in & the walk wasn't bad. Plenty of restrooms and they were clean. Security was posted around visibly and medal detectors were at entrance which is handicap accessible. My photo is taken from section 113 facing the scoreboard and even they were good seats! I was not here for a game but I will definitely be coming back to catch a game at this huge stadium. Overall the stadium was easily accessible, clean, prices high for water etc. my first opinion is the stadium is a huge park. It seats more than our stadium and I only wonder how it will be during a game. Overly crowded and long lines or plenty of room and lines are short and move quickly. Example-buying water, restrooms. I recommend this ballpark/stadium

This stadium has a special place in my heart. I love the Budweiser Brew House for great, low-level views of the field and food/drinks. They also have so many amazing food vendors that you wouldn't expect in a sports stadium like korean corn dogs and crab cakes. Has to make your DC bucket list

We did Holiday Enchant here. I love when stadiums get used yearly. They had good food options and great space. This particular event was definitely family geared and I made the mistake of making it a girls night. I think the kids would have loved it.

The fact that Nationals Park is on Yelp is an absurdity. No one checks Yelp before buying tickets to a ball game. That being said, the stadium sadly lacks any character and has a terrible beer selection. Additionally, recent studies indicate that it is one of the most expensive baseball stadiums in the country despite having a team that has been bad to mediocre since 2019, beer selection that is atrocious, and food quality that has gone significantly downhill in quality in the last few years. Of course this review is pointless but I find myself entirely annoyed by all of the factors above as well as the choice to have the stadium face the Capitol despite the clearly predictable fact that future development would ensure that almost no one in the stadium would be able to see the Capitol itself. There is a beautiful river and park the other direction, which could have been incorporated into a better design plan, but instead you get views of office buildings and apartments.

The Nats were just god awful at baseball when I went in 2022. I mean, it was truly like watching a minor league club play some pros. But really, when I go to baseball games, it's mainly to enjoy the stadium, fresh air, and some time with friends, so that didn't matter too much to me. With all that considered, it was a pretty good experience, just not a great one. We took the metro into the game, which was a very painless experience that lets you right out by the park. It's clear they're trying to cultivate some pre-game experiences around this newer stadium, but aren't quite there yet. The coolest thing we went to was the shipping container bar area, which, if you want the dive experience, that is for you. The unfortunate part is the smell of trash and beer that just hangs in the swampy air. Something to move that air some more would be very welcome. Upon entering the stadium, everything is new. There are escalators going to the upper decks, and no shortage of concessions to dive into. There is a Smashburger, but good luck getting anything from it. Even with the team being terrible, the line is still forever long. My friend pointed me to a local favorite for chili dogs and cheese fries which I currently can't remember the name of. They were fine. Nothing to write home about in my book. Our seats along the 3rd base line pretty even with home plate were a great view. The air is still down in the lower deck, which made for a predictably hot and humid experience in late August. My favorite location was when we went exploring midway through the game and ended up watching from the standing bar area in right field upper deck. There was a nice breeze up there which felt great by comparison, still with a good view. This would be my choice in the future. Overall, the Nationals don't have the rich history of other teams and parks, so there was a certain mystique that was lacking, but the stadium is indeed a good place to watch a game. I've been to better, but would come back!

Was in town for a Washington DC White House visit. Our favorite team was scheduled to play the Nationals. I love visiting MLB stadiums. Lower level home plate tickets were pricey so we opted for some behind 3rd base. If you sign up for the promotional emails they did offer some big discounts a few days before the game. 40% off a ticket is what they offered. We did buy our tickets way in advance. We took the Metro ( Navy Yard stop) which I do suggest. It was fast ,efficient and super close to the stadium. I loved all the new restaurants and shops close to the stadium. Entering the stadium was quick and easy. Remember to use a very small purse or small clear bag. I did bring in an empty water bottle and bag of peanuts. I really enjoyed the clearly labeled "Gluten Friendly " options. I don't eat anything that's not labeled gluten friendly. Everyone at the stadium was friendly and nice. The food workers seemed knowledgeable on food allergies. That's important to me. I did think the stadium had personality. Not a Boston or San Deigo but worth a visit. Kinda sad the town doesn't support the team but MLB have become an expensive outing.

Just 48 hours prior to my visit to Nationals Park, I had fulfilled a bucket list item by watching an epic battle between the Blue Jays and Red Sox in gorgeous Fenway Park! (Jays won a hell of a battle 6-5 in 10 innings) To be totally fair, I kept expectations pretty low because how do you top that, right? I have to say my Nationals Park experience totally blew me away! What an awesome surprise! I snatched a couple of tickets in section 208 along the 3rd base line for a pretty fair price ($59 plus tax and fees). They were actually cheaper on StubHub than on the Nationals website (Nationals site wanted $95 plus tax and fees). Go figure. We had outstanding seats with padded cushions that made it so much more comfortable to enjoy the game than just a few nights earlier. (Hey, I loved my time at Fenway, but that wooden seat after 4 plus hours was freaking brutal!). We had a totally unobstructed view of the field and the scoreboard and had plenty of space to stretch out, which made the whole experience so much more enjoyable! Concession prices will be just as inflated as any other typical MLB Ballpark. We grabbed an order of Super Nachos and, while pricey, was VERY delicious and served in a large, generous portion! A tall can of Bud Lite cost me $13.75, which is why I only had one! lol The area behind our section didn't look like a typical baseball stadium tunnel. It was carpeted with displays of the Nationals memorabilia and whatnot. It really made me feel like we had VIP tickets or something. lol It was a lot of fun! Oh, and my Cincinnati Reds came in and beat the Nats 6-2! Sweeeet! I had a blast at Nationals Park and would absolutely come back for more games down the road if the opportunity allows! 5 stars.

This is by far one of the worst baseball games I have ever attended. When I went to get my food I found a group of staff who were rude, ignorant, and unwilling to cooperate with the customer in the slightest. After consuming slop which is not even deserving of the title of food I had to go to the restroom. Upon my return I found what seems to be somebody's "accident" DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH MY SEAT. The fact that such behavior can occur in the first place is nothing short of vile and I will not be making another trip down to this pig sty of a stadium.

A great MLB park it is right in DC and off the metro line. It makes it incredibly easy to get to and there are plenty of surrounding businesses and bars for you to grab a drink or snack before you catch the game. There are plenty of food options and you can get an Uncle's Ben chili dog sold at the park. I recommend that as that is a DC staple. There are also plenty of shaded areas if you decide to go on a hot humid day in DC. There are some parking garages available but I wouldn't bother with it as it just becomes a hassle.

Everything is a ripoff... especially for a baseball game... need to store your bags if they're too big or not clear and they're $12 or over for a locker and you have to download an app too for it. So unnecessary! And it's clear they let certain people get away with it and some won't. Okay... Staff can be rude or not giving you the answers you need and just tell you to buzz off! Took a while for us to find answers to where to store our bags. Beers and food are way too overpriced. Staff serving food are kind of rude and impatient too. Even when the game ended they tried to kick us out ASAP when I was visibly trying to get all of my stuff like chill? No proper air conditioning either so it's gross and hot in heat. Staff here are just so fed up and just kind of reflect that attitude on customers. Did I mention they're rude? LOL. The only staff member I appreciated was the one next to the ticket scanning who was super nice!

Enjoyed my company's annual ballpark event at Nationals Park. Party Suite was spacious and comfortable. Canned beers and sodas, wine and bottled water were also provided. Workers were prompt to make sure all areas were clean and stocked. Great Saturday and the Phillies won!

What a beautiful park. Coming from Pittsburgh you kind of know a thing or two about a beautiful park. It is interesting to know about this spot. On my ride over here my cabbie was telling me that it is amazing on how much the area around the ballpark had built up. The neighborhood around it is a nice compliment to the ballpark itself. I do have to say it was easy to navigate around park while I was here. I found my seat rather quickly and when I did leave my seat I ended up finding exactly where I needed to be. One little hiccup is how long lines can be when getting food or beverage. You might find an area that has no line, but when you return you discover that everyone noticed this and now there is a line. Watching the game was quite nice as well. I'm not certain about this, but it appears there is no bad seat in the house. I had a great view and looking around there seems to be great views from everywhere, especially the balconies that overlook the park from the nearby apartments. It was a beautiful night to take in a game, I wasn't much interested in who was going to win. I was here to enjoy the night as it was a beautiful night and enjoy some alone time, if that is possible while in a stadium. I may have taken a taxi here but I decided to venture afterwards. I found it easy to navigate here and from here. Especially if you were to take some sort of transportation. I need to do more of this when I go to another city, take in a game.

"Take me out to the ball game......i don't care if i never get back!!!!" I had horrible seats but I enjoyed myself. I made some rookie mistakes.... Parking: Parking is downright robbery! The Geico garage is $48 bucks! Walk 3 blocks and it is about $35 bucks....sheesh!!! Take the metro or an uber. Traffic is bad in the area on game day so leave early Food: Food is expensive - expect it! $5 nachos, $5 hotdog, $7 lemonade, $6 soda/pop/soft drink, $5 bag of chips (small snack size/lunch size), specialty food is much more (ben's chili bowl, shake shack) Weather: Plan for the weather, it will be hot! Plan on a personal fan Prohibited: Only clear bags are allowed unless it is a small wallet type. Otherwise, you must pay for a locker to secure your belongings. National Park has no comparison to Texas stadiums!!!! Texas stadiums do it better - for sure! did not see any tailgating and such..... I enjoyed the game but I did wonder why ALL food shut down about one hour before the game ended (even small bites like popcorn). I needed a munch. screaming, "Root....Root...Root for the home team!!!! At the ooooolddd ballllllll game!!!!"

Got the chance to come to the Nationals Park twice now and have enjoyed it both times. I've been lucky with good seats where I'm not baking in the sun. Lovely Park thats easy to find, we have been able to find street parking the two times we've been here, and many restaurants before getting to the stadium, which is a nice hangout before the game. The food and drinks is expensive, which is expected when coming to places like these, But still worth it. The atmosphere of the ball game, hot dogs and drinks just come so perfectly together. I've had the chance to try the Crab Hot Dog, which was pretty good, just not anything amazing that I'd order again. The chips were delicious though! My favorite thing to get here is the Banh Mi hot dog from Haute Dogs. Absolutely amazing! I was hesitate at first, but I loved the pickled carrots, cucumber and cilantro. It was topped off with a sriracha mayo which was so good and I love their rolls, super soft! They also sold Margherita slushie drinks closer to the entrance which was so delicious, very refreshing on hot days.

Since we were in DC we decided on going to a Chicago vs Nationals daytime game just to check out the stadium. It was really busy around the bar and restaurant areas but the stadium was not that crowded. We really enjoyed all the food and beverage options available throughout the stadium. The team gift shop was jam packed after the game with people buying all types of baseball products.

A fun stop on our Fourth of July trip in DC! The stadium is nice and the game was fun, but when it comes to getting concessions- forget it! We waited in line for to get a stadium dog and we missed four innings of the game. We thought it would be easier to put my order in on the MLB app, we thought wrong.. I got a confirmation text in the fourth inning that I would be kept "updated about my order".... I never received a confirmation text or got my food. Again, we had a good time at the game itself and enjoyed the fireworks, but if you want food, make sure you don't set any expectations.

Very nice ballpark! We sat up in the cheap seats and still had a terrific view. I was surprised at how buggy it was, I guess DC really is a swamp after all. I downloaded the Ballpark app and was able to use it to find my seats and pre-order concessions, which was great. Beer and alcohol here is disgustingly expensive, so be prepared for that. We visited on fireworks night and really enjoyed the show after the game. The ballpark is a quick walk to the Metro station and we didn't have any trouble exiting at the end of the night despite the large crowds.
