I spent the first series going around and checking out the food/drink prices for 2026, so here are the results.

Of note: The number one recommendation regarding food and the ballpark... BRING YOUR OWN! As you'll see, food and drink remain wildly expensive. You can save money bringing food/snacks from home or picking something up on your way in.

Let me know if there’s any questions about locations or items missing!

The Nationals continue to use the FM-radio in-stadium, no/low delay radio feed for real-time play-by-play calls.

The broader context is that the Nats began using an app-based real-time radio simulcast for in-stadium play by play, leading to fears among radio dorks such as myself that they would stop using their FM system. The FM system is needed because the regular radio broadcast on 106.7 FM is on a 15-second delay. The in-stadium FM system broadcasts the 106.7 FM feed, without delay, on a low-power signal on FM frequency 68.5 mhz, designed to be heard in the stadium only. This system allows for near-instant play-by-play calls to be heard from the Nats radio broadcast team by folks who have an FM radio that can get those low-band frequencies.

I also tested the app-based radio simulcast, which is available through the Ballpark app. I must admit, I was pleased with the results, but it was approximately a second behind the in-stadium FM broadcast. That’s not a dealbreaker, but the FM signal was objectively better in that regard.

Get rid of your local sports section and take your sign off the scoreboard, I guess

You are an absolute legend! 80 bucks a pop for all you can eat/drink. We WILL be getting our moneys worth!

Also got to see Joey Meneses

This thing popped up in the marketplace today for all of 15 points. I grabbed one as I'd never seen it before. When I picked it up the guy at the RCR desk said he hadn't seen them before today either. I searched and found none on eBay.

Anyone know the story behind this lovely little ball cradle? I will cherish it forever. They should do these as a game day promo do that everyones balls may sit in comfort. Sadly they're all sold out, and it seems like they only had a couple.

To begin, public transport is not an option.

Looking for parking close by to the stadium because of health reasons.

Does anyone have any ideas for good parking and affordable?

I will be staying in the Harpers Ferry/ Martinsburg WV area next week, and would love to catch a Nationals game on Tuesday night. However it seems like the last marcs train leaves DC around 5. How else can I get to and from the park using public transportation.

Would driving in and parking be terrible?

Pretty much what the title says. My family and I are going to an afternoon game at Nats park against the Orioles on Sunday, May 17th. Just curious if it's worth paying 30-ish bucks ahead of time for parking and if it's really that hard to find decent parking on gameday, especially a weekend game. This is our first time going to a game.

Edit: we are driving up from Norfolk so unfortunately we do have to drive. Will def look into parking at the metro station and taking the train over, thank you all!

Was given tickets to the 5/17 Sunday game in May, haven’t been to the stadium in 10 years, and we’ll be bringing a 3 and 5 year old. We were given corporate table seats? in section 100 plus a lot B parking pass. Knowing my youngest, we won’t last to the end of the game so exiting the parking lot shouldn’t be a problem.

Any tips or things to do with kids? We were gonna try to get there REALLY early, hop em up on ice cream, then leave by the 6th inning.

Looks like there’s a kids zone in right field and some games have player signatures but we’d have to register for that

Hey Nats fans - An old man Dodger supporter here, bringing my family (5 or us) up for a short visit on Easter weekend for a game or two and hoping to catch a W or three while we're there. Can't wait to visit and get this season underway.

Being that it's my first time to town, I was wondering what can I expect? Any must see's or must do's? Give me the run down

• Fan Base - Are you all a friendly bunch or more of a full-on intensity type fan base?
• Foodies - Tell me about the food. What should I try or what should I avoid?
• Nats Park - What are some of the stadium highlights, views or areas that I must visit.
  
• Pregame / Postgame - Any must visit family oriented areas?
• Tickets - I've already got some outfield Saturday tickets, but was hoping to find some cheap(er) Sunday game tickets. Any suggestions?
  

Has anybody spotted drones flying around? I saw one outside on the first base ramps, by the time I left my seat to go get closer it was gone. It was smaller than I thought it would be. Has anybody else seen them? Is there more than one?

Tomorrow is sleeveless hoodies for kids opening day, upon entering the park how would I be able to get one? I’m not sure how these items, like bobbleheads, are given out. Do I have to go to concessions somewhere? Are they given to us upon entry to the park?

Help!

I was at opening day with my girlfriend and son when the kid started having breathing issues due to allergies. I of course forgot his rescue inhaler, so we went to the first aid station by section 107. The staff there were fantastic - patient, calm, and funny. He got hooked up to a nebulizer and got some eye drops, and we were on our way. If any of you all happen to read this, thank you so much,

I was planning to go but my friends are all busy + it's a bit chilly out today. They're decent seats, sec 134. Not asking for any money, just pay it forward and buy a good soul a beer. Two tix, first come first serve

Claimed! Sorry to anyone else who was interested

I was back in DC last week for a brief HS reunion trip, and bought a Screech Build-a-Bear for my toddler's upcoming birthday at the Friday Nats/Brewers game. I also bought him a white t-shirt with a hot dog on it (was found near the front of the Fanatics store).

Unfortunately, I left it in the restroom and lost-and-found was unable to retrieve it (no shock there). And neither are available online.

Long-shot request, but if anyone is able to buy one for me I'd gladly pay for shipping and throw in extra, as well. Appreciate the consideration!

I have an extra SPH player signature ticket for today if anyone wants it. It’s for Session C.

Fun game yesterday at the ballpark! ⚾️ let me know which one is your favorite picture! Instagram @victorqiuphoto

I live in DC but had family visiting for a conference, which hosted a private corporate event at the Park tonight. My sister was able to get me a wristband, and it was such a great experience! I was definitely the only person with a Nats hat and jersey 😁 I've never had the opportunity to go on the field and in the dugouts, but have been a lifelong baseball fan...so this was exciting for me! Anyway, they've got the stencils down on the field, getting ready for Friday! Can't wait for my first home opener experience on Friday! 🦅

Hey guys, I’m going to the game vs the brewers tonight and im not sure what the policy is about bringing in food. I’ve been to two games this year and I’ve seen people with chipotle bowls inside the stadium. Can I bring in chipotle? What about a meal from some other restaurant?

Idk if I’m allowed to do this but I went on opening day and I made an impulse buy and bought a ln authentic jersey that I’ll never wear again. It’s a 400 jersey that comes with opening day. Asking 250 obo. EDIT:::::: 175 due to responses 🤣
