Nationals Park

Stadium name: Nationals Park

Years in existence: 2008 to present
Fan Capacity: 41,546


I visited Nationals Park in August of 2011 when visiting my friend Steve, who was going to law school in DC, with my friend Mark.  Getting to the stadium was extremely easy with the use of the metro down there, which was really convenient.  It has its own stop and everything.  Plus, it's a new park.  Really nice.  We sat above the Nationals bullpen and naturally made some comments to their bullpen pitchers, including Todd Coffey (who sucks by the way).  Drew Storen refused to acknowledge us, which was disappointing as well.

Anyway, the stadium was awesome.  Not too crowded, but had enough fans to fill up the park to make it loud.  Field was really nice and it was a great game.

The Presidential Race (held in the 4th inning) around the warning track, featuring Abe Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt (on a bike), George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson

The Presidential Race is a must-see for any visitor!  One of the most exciting parts of the visit besides the game.  If you're lucky before the game you can meet and take pictures with some of the presidents!
Edit: Up until the Game 162 of the season for the Nationals, Teddy Roosevelt had never won a race.  He won the first time the Nationals made the playoffs on the last game of the regular season.
