An interesting article about unhappy Washington Nationals fans from The Washington Post
Most fans said they want more promotions to ease the financial strain of parking, paying for a ticket and eating and drinking to watch a club that went 26-55 at home last year. Ten asked for a better ballpark experience, whether that’s additions, improvements or fewer snags with the concession stands and mobile pay system. And above all, they want prices for tickets, parking and food to better reflect the quality of play and lowered investment in the roster.

Washington has planned eight Value Days in 2023, two more than last year. The Nationals will bring back $5 day-of tickets and offer a “Nats Pass” that includes standing room only for every game for $5. There are also extra benefits for season plan holders, including a more flexible ticket exchange policy, a preseason gift box and guaranteed bobbleheads for full- and half-season plans. Overall, the promotional schedule has 58 special ticket events compared with 57 last year. (via Washington Post)
While not specific to the Nationals, I cannot wait for later this week when the RSNPocalypse happens. There is going to be such a financial reckoning in baseball that I cannot even imagine what the future will bring. I don’t see how teams are going to make up that RSN money, and that money might never come back.
Meanwhile, the Mets continue to market this guy…
…so let it all burn.
