February 21, 200521 yr It's nowhere near finished. I'll bet it is going to look flippin sweet when I head up there this summer
February 21, 200521 yr Author It doesn't look bad for a building older than the one they are moving from. RFK Stadium: 1962 Olympic Stadium: 1977 RFK will likely be better for baseball than Olympic Stadium.
February 22, 200521 yr I actually think they're going to do a decent job fixing up the place. The real problem is that they have to keep working on the field for soccer and baseball configurations. It's going to be very complicated. :plain For an old facility, it's not so bad. I never saw an actual ballgame there, being that the Senators left the year I was born. Still, I think hitters are going to love that place, especially when the humidity spikes up in the summertime. It's a ballpark with real grass. That's all the Nats can ever ask for.

February 22, 200521 yr it looks like a good tempory stadium, when the senators played their last game the stadium held 45,000 so i'd assume that's how much it will hold now.
February 22, 200521 yr It'll do the job for a few years. 692305[/snapback] Before they get 'contracted' for the umpteenth time.
