Woodbridge, Va. — It was a cool, windy day on Saturday but that didn’t stop Potomac Nationals fans from coming out to enjoy the P-Nats first-ever Open House.

The event on Saturday at Pftizner Stadium in Woodbridge featured several stations, including a moon bounce, Rita’s Italian Ice, a place to meet the team mascot, Uncle Slam, and even auditions for brave members of the crowd who want to sing the before each home game this upcoming season.

Children and adults alike enjoyed hitting the ball from home plate.

Director of Ticketing Operations Michelle Metzgar said the event was designed to get the community out and ready for baseball season. “We want to get the community excited about the upcoming season by spending the day at the ballpark” Metzgar said in a press release.

Assistant General Manager Carter Buschman was working the pro shop station the day of the event and said that there was a “good buzz going in the crowd today”.  Buschman also expressed high hopes for a positive season beginning with the April 8 game against the Lynchburg Hillcats.

Fans who visited all eight stations at the event were rewarded with 2 free tickets to attend a Potomac Nationals game this season.  Emma, 7, who attended the event with her parents, was less excited about the baseball than getting her face painted like a fairy, but said that she would “definitely come back again, today was fun, and I’d like to come back again, even if it’s just for baseball.”
