What’s new at Nationals Park this year? New giveaways, bobbleheads, food for this season

WASHINGTON — The Washington Nationals’ season ended in a disappointing Game 5 playoff loss to the Chicago Cubs on Oct. 12, 2017. Since then, however, the Nationals Park staff has been busy getting ready for the 2018 season.

The Nats open the season on the road on Friday, March 30, in Cincinnati, before returning for the home opener on April 5 against the New York Mets.

Take a look through these photos to see some of the new giveaways, theme nights and items available for purchase at the team shop in 2018.

Some giveaways include socks for Star Wars Night and new bobblehead figurines. (WTOP/Kristi King)
