It looks like the whole seating situation with season ticket holders and information on the pricing structure for the new ballpark will be divulged today according to Barry Svrluga on the Nationals Journal Blog via the Washington Post.com site.

Well, if you all have time during your workday, or lunch, or if you’re at home, Barry is also hosting his weekly chat on the Washington Post site, and you may want to sit in on that.

Here’s the link to the relocation info: http://washington.nationals.mlb.com/was/ticketing/relocation.jsp

I’d be real curious to see what the pricing structure will be, and if it will be a case of haves vs. have-nots in terms of affordability or something else entirely. Also, considering the attendance and the state of the team, will the stadium be packed with fans throughout 2008, or will fans be indifferent (perhaps show up only for Opening Day and perhaps will stay away for the rest of the season…)

It’s no doubt that the new ballpark will do well in terms of revenue, but in the end, will it at all mean anything if the product on the field does not improve? Well, in terms of all the advertising and the emphasis put on purchasing season tickets to get priority seating in park on the Anacostia, today's news will be huge of Washington baseball fans.

Considering the crowds and the amount of season ticket holders, what will the future hold moving into the park next year?

Camden Yards, SBC Park and Jacobs Field opened up to great fanfare and huge crowds, while PNC Park, Comerica Park and Petco Park have had mixed success.

What will change, what will stay the same?

I’ve heard some things; however, it’s been mostly hearsay, so I some clue, but nothing concrete and things are always scheduled to change.

Stay tuned.
