Section 139 next to the bullpen. Not far from Five Guys, beer and a grilled hot dog/snausage stand.

Wow! Go figure…

in our seasons tickets in section 314, row D, right behind home plate. since i actually know what you look like E, i feel pretty confident in cashing in on the “Offer only valid to the first 5 people I see!”

Wow “E”, that is a friendly and novel idea!

I began at 8:59. I used both the phone method and the Nats internet site method. Via the phone, could not get through. Via the interweb I was able to get through in about 6-7 minutes. Not really any hiccups but I don’t understand the silly ‘letter/number’ security step. The first time the ‘letter/number’ combination wasn’t legible at all. The second time, it was better (preemptive – TWSS).

I purchased 7 tickets and we’ll be in section: 113U / Row JJ / Seats 3-9. If you don’t see me, you’ll definitely hear me. Being a valued Phillies hater, I will be spewing my most potent vitriol at those lousy s.o.b.‘s. (Blogger’s note: I will not be using words like ‘vitriol’.)

This will be the eleventh day of the season. Please tell me we won’t be seeing him in his third start. I don’t want to be shut out. I’d much rather it be a 4th or 5th starter…and a right hander.

Yeah. Hamels. I deleted a sentence. Woops.

I remember last year, some teams skipped the fifth starter because of the two quick off days.

Nice and cheap, above home plate-ish. If I could have picked the exact section, I would have gone lower, but frugality won out.

I was lucky enough to attend last year via lottery. This year, it took me all of four minutes to get tickets in section 416. See you there!

…lower half of the upper deck, about halfway between home and third (so we can get a good view of Zimmy’s acrobatics). We got the half-season plan: upper-deckers, represent!

If I’m not mistaken, throughout sports venue history, there has been at least one section of every stadium, ballpark and arena in which a portion of the crowd has established itself as the rudest, loudest, nastiest, most prideful bunch. The location of such a group is usually in a more ‘off-the-beaten path’ parcel of the venue. Usually in the cheap seats somewhere. Home of the blue-collar man. This locale is home to the section that gets the stadium going with chants and rants full of colorful language when the team is down and even when the team is up.

Groups that come to mind are the Cheese-heads in Green Bay, the malcontents in Oakland Coliseum, the Cleveland Indians with their drum corps and the Yankee fans who own outer right field @ Yankee Stadium.

I remember sitting in section 107 of Nats Park last year. The Nats were playing the Braves and we were giving Braves right fielder Matt Diaz a little tickle. There were some chuckles here and there and then came the fun. Two guys came walking down with large Incredible Hulk fists that held beer. Those things stood out like coal lumps in a hill of snow and everyone got a good laugh. Those two guys got in on the act a little bit and 107 became a little rowdy. It was great.

Establishment of a section like this (and one that holds its rowdy – but respectable – reputation) would really be great to see. The blog would be a great place to establish, run the logistics/coordination for and oversee an endeavor such as this.

Anyone else got any ideas on how to put NATS TOWN on the map??!!!

or that Devil Rays guy…….

Say, what about a section with Big Chicken heads and large claws?

But I am bringing my wife and son to see their first baseball game live! We will be sitting in Sec 103 Row G. I would plan on taunting Lidge but I’m expecting they won’t be needing his services for the Nats home opener.
