Set near the Anacostia River, Nationals Park seeks to relate to its environment through transparency, massing and openness and a strikingly simple gesture of geometric volumes. The form's purity reflects the district's historic monuments; use of stone grounds the ballpark to its site while transparent glass reflects our nation's democratic ideals. The ballpark's amenities offer the grandest experience a baseball fan can expect. It certainly is a ballpark for D.C., but is also is a ballpark with which all Americans can identify as the nation’s ballpark. America's most sustainable ballpark, Nationals Park is the nation's first major professional stadium to become LEED Silver Certified by the U.S. Green Building Council.
