WASHINGTON — The temperature is rising, the sun is coming out, the cherry blossoms are just about to reach peak bloom -- all signs it's time for peanuts and crackerjacks. Thursday is opening day and it's right here in the District for the Washington Nationals.
The first game of the fifteenth season will start at 1:05 p.m. against the New York Mets.
If you're headed to Thursday's home opener or any game this season, make you're aware of the new backpack policy -- no backpacks allowed except for purses, drawstring bags, diaper bags and soft-sided coolers that do not exceed 16"x16"x8. For more information on that click here.
