You see that building, the white one, right past right field? That is where I work and where I would have been able to watch Nationals games if Arlington had won the right to have the games. It would have been a much better location then the current DC one, and would probably have had much less political bullshittery then what the DC City Council did in regards to the new stadium. You would have been able to see the Washington Monument, Capitol Hill, and if up in the nose bleeds, the Pentagon and Lincoln Memorial.
It is the PERFECT location for the ballpark, unlike the current location. It has acess to two different metro lines with room to expand. It shows all the sights of DC more or less, and you still have a very picturesque view of DC. Sadly they wanted the stadium IN DC and not Virginia and it ended up there. It just makes me shake my head at what could have been. For the record you can look at images and news of the new ballpark here.
