Trying to make the best out of tough times

Hey NatsTown! I'm in the same boat you are. Though I am a Mets fan, I live in D.C. and cheer for the Nats (when they're not playing the Mets mind you). Recognizing that the beginning of this season has been tough on us all I just wanted to share some info I've come across that (hopefully) will make your visit to NatsTown somewhat pleasurable.

I went to the home opener and didn't see any beer tent or festivities set up on Half St. between M and N streets, but maybe that was just due to my excitement to get inside the park. Regardless, the link above provides some information on what a proprietor has (or will) establish for pre-game/post-game activities directly adjacent to the Centerfield gate.

This link provides fans with info on places to grab a bite/have a drink/hang out before the game. Hope things get better. And soon.

I wonder how much food and drink will cost at this?

Sounds like a great idea if it’s not ballpark prices

Good question.

One thing to ask yourself is: What’s the overall goal of a business? To maximize profit. I imagine the prices will be comparable. Then again, the outside vendor can try to undercut his competitor (Nats Ballpark next door) with cheaper goods. Perfect segue to the next question: Does the selling of concessions so close to the game take away from potential profits from the vendors inside the ballpark?

Yeah, prices will probably be comparable to the stadium

Lots of economic questions here.

I also am curious to see the atmosphere/clientele of this place. It seems to be pushing a family atmosphere or something, yet they’re selling beer and having live music. Can’t wait to check it out regardless.
