As exciting as it is for the Washington Nationals to host Friday’s Game 5 of the National League Divisional Series, please remember if you go that the Metro is not the best way to go.
Normally, if you are lucky to have tickets, it is the best way. With a year-long remodeling project under way and the length of playoff games, the system will likely be closed by the time the game ends.
D.C. Sports Bog reminds us the last train out of Navy Yard is 11:20 PM. First pitch is 8:08. If you have tickets, you cannot depend on the game ending in time.
