Nats: We’ve got parkig figured out; District: Nuh-uh

D.C., Nats Officials at Odds Over RFK Parking PlanThe Post
The Nationals told season ticketholders that the parking plan had been worked out which was news to District officials.

In a news release, team president Stan Kasten said that fans who buy season tickets — including full-, half- or partial-season plans — will be able to buy spaces in parking lots close to the new stadium, which is being built near the Navy Yard and South Capitol Street in Southeast Washington. Kasten gave no details about where the lots are or how much it will cost to reserve a spot.

For fans who do not have season tickets or those who don’t want to pay for parking, the release says, “there will be free parking at RFK Stadium with a speedy and free” round-trip shuttle service to the games. The statement did not give additional information about the shuttle service.

The team’s announcement surprised city officials, who said no final decision has been made about whether to make available RFK’s parking lots, which can hold up to 10,000 cars.

The only good news is that there are still several months to figure it all out. Knowing the Nats and the District, that will happen around March 15 if at all.
