Activity Overview
Nationals Park is a baseball park in Washington, D.C. that is the home of the Washington Nationals, a Major League Baseball Team. The over 41,000-seat park first opened in 2008, and has since hosted the Nationals' home games, as well as a visit from Pope Benedict XVI, who celebrated mass there. The best way to experience the stadium is by attending a game, but if you happen to be visiting when the Nationals are out of town, you can always go on a ballpark tour to see where they play.
