Phillies Nation Goes To Washington

After getting feedback from people, looking at dates and schedules we have decided to head up a bus trip. A bus trip you say???? Yes a bus trip…

…To Washington D.C. to see our Fightin Phils take on the Washington Nationals on Saturday, June 10th at 1:05 P.M.

Why should I go?

June 10th is a Saturday during the summer, the perfect time to catch a baseball game. You will be joined by 50 Phillies fans taking over an entire stadium to cheer in the nation’s capital your team to victory. Yes, just 50 fans can take over R.F.K. Stadium.

How much does this cost?

The total cost will be 40 DOLLARS per person.

40 dollars?!? That’s crazy! I can just drive there and spend less!

Unfortunately, in the times we live in that is not the case. So, you drive a mid 90s to 2000 import: That’s a $45-$50 fill up.

You’re driving an SUV or Pick up??? Forgetabout it… you know how much that costs.

For 40 dollars you are sitting in a luxury casino style bus, with air conditioning being driven 2 and 1/2 hours into one of the busiest traffic areas in our nation. Why bother sitting in hours of traffic in the hellish heat of June when you can just cop a ride on the Phillies Nation bus?

Ok, you got a point. Gas is expensive and I hate traffic? So what does my 40 dollars REALLY get me?

40 Dollars covers the following:

  • 1 comfy seat on the bus
  • 1 ticket for admission to the game sitting in the Phillies Nation Group Section
  • Taxes, tolls, tip and parking
  • A cameo on RFK’s version of “Phan-A-Vision”
  • 10% off at the Nationals Group store
  • A chance to Win Bus Prizes from Phillies Nation
  • When would we leave?

    An ideal time to leave is 8:30am from the P-parking lot at Citizens Bank Park. Why 8:30? Arriving around 10:30-11:00am will provide sufficient time for us to situate the group and direct people on what their options are once arriving.

    Some people may want to go in early and check out the stadium. The stadium will remind a lot of people of the Vet. Some people may want to pre-game with beer, grilling, games and meeting the DC division of Phillies Nation. Some people may just want to chill out until game time. Some people may want to do a little sightseeing around the District. It’s all up to you.

    Where are our seats going to be?

    They will be somewhere in between Sections 625-507 This may seem super high but it isn’t. It is equivalent to the upper 500 or lower 600 level on a Veterans Stadium scale. These seats provide protection from the afternoon sun or any downpour that may occur.

    How do we pay?

    • Our PayPal account which is: philliesblog@gmail.com
    • Credit Cards can be used via PayPal
