Washington Nationals Opening Day

Note: This post has been updated on May 10, 2022.

Every year I've lived in D.C., and so long as D.C. has had the Washington Nationals in our backyard, I've wanted to go to Opening Day. There's something so special about taking the day off work with a few thousand other people, meeting up with friends, having a few drinks (and plenty of ball park food), and watching one of America's oldest sports.

I was lucky enough to get off of work and snag suite tickets to watch the game (in style). I was even luckier to wander the stadium and run into friends, making it one of the most memorable games (and Mondays) I've been to (had).

If you have never been to a game here, I highly recommend it.  It's one of the best baseball stadiums in the country!  Not only is the park so beautiful, but the surrounding areas of Navy Yard/Waterfront are absolutely fantastic to walk around.  

If you don't have time to explore the neighborhood, note that there are so many food and drink options to choose from at the ball park. For those with Celiac, they have two gluten-free stands in the park, including one by Centerfield!

Let's play ball!
