Fans will see some upgrades to Nats Park

Last summer, the Nationals’ ownership group held back rent payments to the District of Columbia government and demanded damages because it believed Nationals Park was not completed on time.

Sources say that dispute has been resolved and this year’s rent payment already has been made. That means fans will notice a winter’s worth of improvements when they return to Nationals Park on April 13 for the home opener against the Philadelphia Phillies.
