Nationals Park will debut March 30

According to the Post's esteemed Barry Svrluga, the rumored March 30 debut of Nationals Park is indeed on. The Nats will be hosting the Atlanta Braves rather than the Mets, and the game will be nationally-televised (which means there won't be a battle royale between Peter Angelos and Ted Turner for the game's broadcast rights). With any luck, I'll be able to score tickets to this game, though I have no idea at all what kind of draw to expect. Obviously we're all hoping for the kind of attendance like the first RFK game in April 2005 (with the new ballpark being the game's selling point), but with the team doing poorly in the last few seasons, it's really hard to say.
