I saw -- on Sportscenter, I think -- the Washington players coming on to the field for the first time before the game and they were "oooooing" and "aaaahhhhing" like little kids. It was kind of fun to see that kind of reaction from multi-millionaires.

Too early to tell if it's a pitcher's/hitter's park yet. As you note, lots of room to roam in the outfield though, so the Nats may go for a speed/slap hitting team vs long ballers. Time will tell.
Hope you make a game. As someone who's been to a great many parks myself, this is very impressive and worth a trip.
PS - Don't drive! Park at the ole RFK, tail gate, and take the free bus!
