Nationals Park opened in 2008 to much fanfare, it was the first LEED – certified green major professional sports stadium in the United States. The Nats struggles during their first two seasons along the Anacostia River enabled top draft picks Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper to join the organization. Their recent success has coincided with the revitalization of the Navy Yard area of DC. Views of the Washington Monument and the Capitol from the Upper Deck as well as the Presidents Race make a ballpark visit to our Nation’s capital a memorable one.
