Just got this in the e-mail box. In the wake of yesterday's tragedy, the Nats are advising extra travel time for tonight's game vs. the BoSox.
Apparently, there are some tickets still available — including some SRO in case of a sellout.
***************************
The Washington Nationals express their deepest sympathies to those affected by yesterday’s Metrorail tragedy on the Red Line. A moment of silence will take place before this evening’s game vs. the Boston Red Sox in honor of the victims.
Metro has advised all customers to plan for extra travel time both on metro and the roads due to yesterday’s accident. All Nationals fans attending tonight’s game vs. the Boston Red Sox are encouraged to allow more time for their trip and anticipate delays both coming to and leaving the ballpark.
Fans may park for free at RFK Stadium’s Lot 8 and take the free Nats Express to Nationals Park. The Nats Express begins at 5:30pm and runs through an hour-and-a-half after the final out.
Parking is available around Nationals Park and may be pre-purchased at www.nationals.com/waytogo. Nationals Park Garages B and C will open today at 4:30pm, while all other lots will open at 5:00pm.
Fans planning to take Metro should visit www.wmata.com for up-to-the-minute information on station closings and delays.
