Nationals Withhold Rent on Ballpark – The Post
I really want to give the Lerner family the benefit of the doubt on their claim that the ballpark was not “substantially complete” on time, but I have a hard time doing it. Surely, something must be very wrong for them to risk such potential public backlash, right? They are not helping themselves, the team or its fans by saying “no comment” either. At least say something like “we are disappointed in the way this has worked out and look forward to a resolution with the District blah blah blah.”
Nationals Park looked fine to me on Opening Night and the other two games I went to this season. Peter Angelo$ does this kind of thing all the time.
This is the kind of thing that leads to the lowest local TV audience in the majors. Is the park that bad or are the Lerners that stupid when it comes to PR or did the District actually botch it? Given the parties involved, the answer could easily be both.
