Washington Nationals Baseball Game Against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday, June 10 at 7:05 pm

Nationals Park is the nation's first LEED Silver Certified major professional stadium.  The stadium incorporates a variety of sustainable design elements including water conserving plumbing fixtures (saving an estimated 3.6 million gallons of water per year), energy conserving light fixtures that also help reduce light pollution, and a 6,300-square-foot green roof to minimize heat gain.  Tickets cost $10 or more depending on where you sit.  To sit with other conference participants plan on purchasing tickets at the stadium.  Meet us in the front lobby of the Hyatt Arlington at 6:00 pm or take the Metro via the Green Line to the Navy Yard station.  From there the stadium is just half a block away.  For more information about the Nationals visit their web site.
