I wish I could go, but aside from financial reasons, I have another committment that week that takes precedence. Damn it. haha. Well. I look forward to November to wander around the Shriners show, that'll be my national.

Looks like the Orioles will be on the road the entire week of the show.

The nats will be in town in dc against the phils and marlins if you care to take a trip around the beltway.

DC is not that far away, and maybe you can catch Strasburg. If you want to see the World Champion Phillies buy tix way in advance. Philly fans will make this road trip in big numbers.

If you fly in to Baltimore and don't have a car, how difficult/expensive is it to get to the stadium in DC for a game?

[Danny Smith]

Not hard to get to dc. Just hop on the marc train from baltimore to union station in dc then take the metro to the game.

The phils games will be packed for sure so i would also recommend planning ahead.

Nationals park is a great stadium and well worth the trip.

One of the highlights attending the Baltimore show is the Oriole game. I just saw the 2012 Oriole schedule and it appears that they are out of town 7/30-8/5.

Can't believe that the National was scheduled during that time period. I guess I'll have to spend more time walking up and down the aisles of the show.

Wow, that's a real disappointment. Are the dates Aug 1-5 locked in?

This will be my first National. Thanks for all the excellent discussion and photos of this years event. I caught the bug. Now I start working on the wife.

I will be there for sure, probably at least two nights this time, if not three.

No O's......that stinks, I was hoping to attend my first game at Camden Yards. That will be torture.....seeing the vacant stadium for 3+ days. Maybe the Indians are in town, is it too late to switch the National to Cleveland? Or anywhere a home team will be in town?
