It is distressing but over the past few seasons, whenever the Nats played their National League East rival in D.C., almost no one but Phillies fans flocked to the stadium. Which is why the Nationals are doing something special right now called “Take Back the Park” giving people who live in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area (and season ticket holders) first shot at tickets for the first home stand against the Phillies May 4-6th. This special ticket offering is happening NOW, before they go on sale to the general public, where either Phillies fans or anyone else can get them.
