Metro and Parking Problems at New Nationals Stadium
   posted 6:24 am Thu September 27, 2007 - Washington
The Nationals and D.C. officials are working to get past transportation snags that could keep the Nats' new stadium from opening on time. The $611 million stadium itself is on schedule to open in April, but problems with parking and public transit could keep fans from getting there.

Officials say the renovation of the Navy yard Metro station is behind schedule and a fight between developers over land near the ballpark could add to delays.

ABC 7 News myTAKE - What's Your Opinion?Meanwhile, the Nationals are looking for more parking spaces after the federal government rejected their plan to use an 800-space parking garage under the U.S. Department of Transportation headquarters two blocks away.

Mayor Adrian Fenty says finishing the Metro expansion is a priority, and the city is working to get as many people as possible to use public transit to get to the ballpark.
