The Nationals 5-3 home victory over the Phillies tonight officially brought the RFK era to an end for the Nats. And not a moment too soon: RFK lately seemed more infamous for the extracurricular activities that went on in the upper deck, rather than the baseball played down on the field.
Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! Fire sale at RFK! Everything must go!RFK closed its doors to Nats baseball with a few postgame ceremonies that amounted to exiting with more of a whimper, than a bang-- probably because most Nats fans are eager to wave goodbye.
Even the ballplayers aren't particularly broken up at the prospect of leaving RFK behind.
"This place sucks," said center fielder Nook Logan, as he walked through the dank tunnel to the team's clubhouse before the game. "No one -- the fans, the players -- wants to come to this place. It's old."The Nationals will open next season playing home games at a brand new $611MM baseball-only facility on the banks of the Anacostia river.

New stadiums are so exciting.
I personally can't wait until 2010 in Minny! It's just too bad some of my favorite players won't be part of the home team by then.
