Nationals Park has presided over the fast-developing Capitol Riverfront area since it first opened its gates in 2008. As home to the Washington Nationals Major League Baseball team, the park is a cornerstone of summer life in the capital. Nationals Park also provides unparalleled learning opportunities for students.

Washington Nationals owners, Ted Lerner, A.A. ?48, L.L.B. ?50, and Mark D. Lerner, B.B.A. ?75, are GW alumni, and the team?s organization has hosted a number of GW interns who learn first-hand about the inner workings of a Major League team.
