2008 Nationals Park Inaugural Game
Washington Nationals opened the District's new $611 million ballpark with a 3 to 2 victory against the Atlanta Braves. The season opener marked the first Major League Baseball game of 2008 on US soil. With the dome of the U.S. Capitol lit up against the black night sky beyond left field, and the Washington Monument visible from patches of the upper deck, the park provided a picturesque setting.
