Nationals approved to host 5,000 fans with aim to increase capacity in mid-April

The Washington Nationals received approval from Washington, D.C., and MLB to host 5,000 fans at Nationals Park, beginning opening day, with the aim to increase capacity later in April.

Beginning with Washington’s first homestand, which starts April 1 against the Mets and concludes April 7 against the Atlanta Braves, ticket priority goes to Nats Plus members based on tenure and ticket packet size. Tickets will be purchasable in pods of one to six people and suites will be available at reduced capacities.

The Nationals hope to increase their capacity limit for their second homestand, which begins April 15.
