D.C. Mayor signs ballpark bill

Washington D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams signed the funding bill that'll allow the city to build a new 41,000 seat stadium for their new club, the Washington Nationals. The park should be ready for the 2008 season; the team will play within the "lovely confines" of RFK stadium until then. Fortunately, the bill will provide additional funding to help renovate RFK before the 2005 season begins.

I bet those former Expos will be shocked by their initial Washington fan base: 15,000 season tickets have already been reserved for 2005. That number probably surpasses their 2004 admission total for the year.
