Chris, Sam, Nick and I went to the Nationals first game in their new stadium. We went a bit early because President Bush was scheduled to throw out the first pitch. So we wandered around to try some of the local food options like Ben's Chili Bowl, Five Guys Burgers and Red, Hot and Blue. The lines for food were LONG the ENTIRE GAME. But, I must say the food was GOOD. I sampled a brisket sandwich, potato salad, Mayorga coffee, Giffords Hot Chocolate, Chocolate Caramels, Hard Times Chili Wings, Honest Tea and Cracker Jacks. The list is long, but trust me I was still hungry and my pockets were empty.
The game ended with some excitement with the Nats losing their 1 point lead by the catcher losing the ball allowing the Braves to score. With two outs, DC born Ryan Zimmerman had a lot of pressure, but he handled it beautifully by hitting the winning HOME RUN.

Nothing like an opening day in ski caps, gloves, and hoodies. So why weren't you all like the guys on deadspin who walked into the club level of the stadium and got free booze and food?
