The picture is from Section 313. So what used to be so good, is good no longer.

And well done Travis!

How about this inspired verse, altered lyrics to "The Rain, The Park and Other Things" by the Cowsills:

I sat there looking at the game
Tried to look at the Dome
I can see this well from home
A red tent stared back at me

Then I knew (I knew... I knew... I knew... I knew)
That my view was crappy (crappy... crappy...)
(That my view was very crappy)
Parking

what a disaster, are the views from the upper 300 level seats blocked now too as a result of the tent?

someone get Boswell or Fisher to write about this.

But at least you still have a clear view of those beautiful billboards. It's a nice reminder that you paid too much for your seats as you stare at ads for overpriced oil, overprised beer, overpriced mortgages, and overpriced insurance.

The Lerners' big ol' M Street building blocks the view of the dome for a lot of folks on the first-base side, too.

"Great views of the Capitol Dome" has been all hype from day one. You know what has great views of the Capitol? The Mall. And I don't have to pay to get in there.

The District wanted to do it right by constructing below-grade parking. The Lerners were worried parking wouldn't be available by opening day (nevermind the fact that this ballpark is supposed to anchor the neighborhood for decades) and pushed for two crappy garages. Lerners win. Then they erect the red tent, compounding matters. Now they're withholding rent and seeking a daily penalty from

Yes, please correct the post. The city really wanted underground parking, but the Lerners insisted on the awful above ground structures.

The parking situation above/under ground is actually the opposite. Mayor Williams wanted the parking underground.

The Nationals' customer service reps helped sell these seats as having a Capitol view.

It seems like this team just goes out of its way to piss off its fanbase.

I have the same problem in my seats.

It is terrible.
