Nats Say Fans Can Park at RFK, but City Unsure
posted 5:31 am Wed October 24, 2007 - Washington
The Washington Nationals say they expect some fans to park at RFK Stadium next season and ride a shuttle to the new ballpark more than two miles away.
But Tuesday's announcement by the team took D.C. officials by surprise. They say they haven't signed off on the plan. In a news release, team president Stan Kasten said fans who buy season tickets will be able to buy spaces in parking lots close to the new stadium.
For fans who don't have season tickets and don't want to pay for parking, Kasten said there would be free parking at RFK with round-trip shuttle service to the games.
The new stadium is opening in April near the Navy Yard in southeast Washington.
Adequate parking is considered critical to the success of the project.
