Nats320Today's Press Conference by Stan Kasten about the "Grand ReOpening" of RFK Stadium shows how good this guy is going to be at President of the Washington Nationals. Starting July 25, and for the remainder of the season--1,000 upper deck outfield yellow seats will be $3. 1,000 upper deck outfield dark pink seats will be $5. The Capitol View Terrace between the 300 and 400 levels behind home plate will be a new Food Court with local vendors selling all their wares. And open to everyone. More portable food stalls will be placed around the stadium. And food prices will GO DOWN!! Including a team meal of a hot dog, chips and soda for $7.50. All vendors, ushers, security and ticket taking personal will be trained to be NICER??!! And, Aramark, the food contractor, must bring in their top people from other parks to get their act in order. Also, the stadium will be completely powerwashed, painted. Nats Banners on all light poles. All Flowerbeds replanted and, my favorite, A RED/BLUE Netting will be drapped across the Main Entrance in Nats colors to spiffy up the place. All are good things, including a Kosher Stand, directly behind section 320.
Here's a short list of all the food/stadium upgrades:

I am really liking these guys. They are going to make the game more fun. Also included will be better video and music, and in game entertainment. I guess the President Bobblehead Race is out the door. Lerner/Kasten know you have to be accomodating and welcoming to get the non serious baseball fans into the park. This is a very good start for the NEW NATS!!
