and had to ask Nationals Park to open up more sections for fans than they were expecting, which the Nationals obliged

More than $1M has been raised overall for charity, more than double what the game got last year

just reported on Fox News

closest I can find is they normally raise about $100,000 each year with the game

so this will be a way higher attendance than normal

Only seeing a few with LSU gear on during pregame, though I can't see what is on the hats.

I see 4 guys with yellow LSU hats, no LSU shirts/jerseys. Maybe they will all put on LSU hats for one inning or something.

Think they will do the LSU hat switcheroo at some point. The jersey company forgot to send the jerseys. Some last minute LSU t shirts arriving but I think they will just keep on the jerseys they have.

This is what I imagine a TD baseball game would look like.

Many were wearing Capitol police hats in first. Now wearing LSU hats except for Richmond.

Fanatics "forgot" to ship the LSU jerseys to D.C. for the game. LSU did send hats for everyone.
