Cleaning Up the Park

The new Nationals ownership is going to clean up RFK Stadium as it's first job:

"Everything we've done is kind of a response to a condition that existed before," said incoming team president Stan Kasten, who has seen many of the problems firsthand while walking the concourses as an anonymous fan in recent weeks.

"We felt the need to beef up the food offerings, we felt the need to have even more attractive pricing, we felt the need to get even cleaner, to have more entertainment, both video and audio, and spruce up the area around. We're just trying to make everything better."

It's a good first step. The fans will see a visible change in the surroundings. They'll get the idea the ownership cares about the fans. Once that's done, however, the group needs to show it cares about putting a winner on the field, too.

How about holding summer day games earlier in the morning?

Have you been to RFK on a "nice" sunny July day?

Morning games in DC - great idea! Traditional afternoon games end at, oh, 4:30 or 5:00. Have you ever been on the roads of DC around 4:30 or 5:00 on a weekday? Not fun.

With the new stadium, morning games would work very well. I imagine it would be a great draw for the touristas.
