National Stadium Opens - Sunday, March 30, 2008

The new Nationals Stadium will open on Sunday, March 30th. While the game begins at 8pm, events celebrating the opening will begin at 3pm.

Residents in the area began receiving Visitor Parking Permits in the mail as the parking restrictions in Capitol Riverfront and Southwest DC has changed. Many streets are resident parking only now. Many other streets are two-hour limited parking even on the weekends.

The President will be throwing out the first ball, so Secret Service will be handling security.

The first game will be the first chance for local residents to see how visitors find the stadium and park.
