About Nationals Park...
Enjoy a night game at Nationals Park and you'll see the Capitol in the distance. Located in Southeast Washington, this 41,000 seat venue was the first major league stadium to achieve "Green" standards. Because the stadium is built below street level, more than half of the fans will never climb a stair to get to their seat.Stadium Data
