Baseball season is here! Opening day for many teams was either yesterday or today, including the Nationals, who also opened their new stadium last night. The Nats left with a 3-2 victory over the Braves after Ryan Zimmerman hit a solo shot with two outs in the ninth inning. I don’t think any team could have asked for a better way to start off at their new stadium. Nationals’ fans left the game happy about both the team’s victory as well as the great views of the ballpark. What is especially captivating (at least for me) about the stadium is that you can actually see the Capitol Building and the Washington Monument from within it. Both sights look especially alluring in the night sky and it is a reminder that the Nats are the team playing for the capital of the nation in a sense.
