Here are ten things you must see, do and have in NatsTown this season:

Eat at the new Red Porch Restaurant. It has been completely renovated so you can experience the sights and sounds of the Center Field Plaza as well as the playing field while you enjoy a delicious meal. The menu offers everything from creative salads to a variety of wings and you can wash it down with a wide selection of American microbrews that will get you ready for game time.

See the statues of Washington’s Baseball Greats. You don’t want to miss the brand new bronze statues of Walter Johnson, Josh Gibson and Frank Howard when you enter through the Center Field Gate. These players paved the way for baseball in Washington and they’re now immortalized at Washington’s newest monument—Nationals Park.

Watch MASN’s pre- and post-game show. Get the latest news out of NatsTown as Johnny Holliday and Ray Knight host the pre- and post-game shows live from the Center Field Plaza.

Get a photo with the GEICO Racing Presidents. Now George, Tom, Abe and Teddy all have a seven-foot stationary Bobblehead waiting for you! Get your photo with the GEICO Racing Presidents Bobbleheads or see them in-person after the GEICO Presidents Race in the Nats Family Fun Area.

Strike out Ryan Howard or hit a home run off Johan Santana. The Strike Zone has been completely revamped to give you the opportunity to practice your pitching and hitting skills on the latest simulated equipment while learning about the physics of baseball.

Eat till your heart’s content. The Nationals have partnered with Levy Restaurants as the new concessionaire at Nationals Park. There are new menus and dishes for every type of appetite all around the ballpark. Come hungry, leave satisfied.

Take your friends to the Red Loft Bar. Don’t miss the action at DC’s newest and hottest outdoor bar! At the Red Loft, you will have a great view of the game and the city along with an amazing party atmosphere.

Sample the Park’s newest fare. Nationals Park features a new food destination: The Pit at the Red Loft. Come sample beef and turkey straight from the pit. Wash it down with a cold one from the Red Loft Bar and take in the game and the scenery from one of the nicest perches in the park.

Run the bases like Ryan Zimmerman. Every Sunday is Family Fun Day in NatsTown with Signature Sundays and Kids Run the Bases. Get autographs from your favorite Nationals players before the game and kids ages 4-12 can run the bases after the final out.

Sit in Section 401. Tickets are just $5 at the box office on the day of the game. Where else can you watch a great game and get a spectacular view of the Capitol Dome and the Washington Monument?
