The District has built the Washington Nationals a sparkling $611 million stadium, whose luxury suites, club seats and food stands should vastly increase team revenue. The bad news? It's more expensive to see a game. It will cost an average of $195.50 for a family of four to attend a game (parking, food, beverages, program and a cap) at Nationals Park this year, up from $147.94 at RFK Stadium last season, according to a team marketing report.
