“This season, fans visiting Nationals Park will have even more local flavors to enjoy, as 11 new restaurants and local suppliers will be featured at the ballpark after competing in the ‘Pitch Your Product’ showcase this offseason. The culinary competition, which was relaunched for the second time in Club history in October, gave local restaurateurs and food and beverage suppliers from Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia the opportunity to grow their businesses by selling their unique menu items and products at Nationals Park beginning this season. In total, Nationals Park features concessions offerings from more than 30 local businesses, including food, bakery, beer and spirits. (more…)

UPDATE: “The designated propane storage area is a temporary setup that complies with safety regulations. Storing propane indoors is not permitted, which is why it has been placed outside, as indicated by the posted warning signs and fencing around the area. (more…)
