19 June 2012 / Update on Team DC and Night OUT at the Nationals

From Team DC:

Night OUT at the Nationals - Tuesday, June 19 vs. Tampa Bay....now over 3,000 tickets sold!

Over Pride weekend we surpassed the magical 3,000 ticket mark to the 8th Annual Night OUT at the Nationals! Tickets are available for $18 (normally $22 at the box office) and here is how you can get yours:

Go to Nellie's Sports Bar where tickets are on sale at the downstairs main bar.
Or visit www.nationals.com/nightout and get your tickets NOW. Online sales start at $18.

We are pleased to announce that Congressman Jared Polis (D-CO) will join us at the Night OUT on June 19 to throw out the First Pitch. Congressman Polis is a true fighter for our community and as one of only 4 openly gay Members of Congress, he is a great example of what can be accomplished when you are OUT....just like we all will be that night!

We are also pleased to have The Gay Men's Chorus of Washington there to sing the National Anthem that night. Be sure to be inside the ballpark by 6:30 so you can hear them and CHEER LOUDLY FOR THEM!

The Gay Men's Chorus of Washington will also be recognized that evening as the recipient of the Team Spirit Award from the Washington Nationals in recognition of their tremendous contributions to the Night OUT and our community. Way to go Chorus!!!!

We are happy to announce that Sgt. Brett Parson will open the game with "PLAY BALL". Brett is a sergeant with the Metropolitan Police Department and is the former head of the Gay and Lesbian Liaison Unit (GLLU). Brett has been a stalwart in our community for many years and we are excited to have him recognized that night.

The DC Different Drummers will be playing on the main plaza when you arrive, so be sure to stop by and give them a Thumbs Up!

We are also proud to have representatives of the AIDS Vaccine Trials Unit of NIH who will be at the Community Kiosk inside the ballpark that night. The work they do has a profound impact on our community. Thank You and let's hope they find some Nats fans who are interested in research trials!

And (saving the best for last?) beers are only $5 up in our Scoreboard section up until the start of the game. Meet your friends and get there early and cheer loudly as representatives of our community are showcased throughout the ballpark that evening.

Be a part of the LARGEST LGBT Community Night in professional sports in the United States and see your first place Nats take on the first place Tampa Bay Rays.
