According to Dan Steinberg over at WaPo's DC Sports Blog, a group of immodest baseball fans at STBNGNP were told to cover themselves by an usher.
This is a good thing. I don't want to see sweaty dudes with their shirts off. Someone commented that it's perfectly acceptable in places like Chicago, NY and Boston. Precisely the reason I don't live in any of those cities.

The debate of Shirts Vs. Skins at Nats Stadium is meanlingless because in a few more weeks, attendance will be down to the low teens. Stan and Jim will be giving free tickets away to crack heads and bums to fill the seats. Can the D.C. government get a refund?
$611 million on STBNGNP and the Mall, in it's pitiful, non ultimate frisbee condusive state, needs only about half that.

I ask you. What, as an American, would you rather have? A Mall to be proud of? Or an overpriced and below-average ballpark?
It's come to this. STBNGNP is un-American. Next someone will be accusing it of being Muslim and not wearing a flag lapel pin.
As has been observed, there is little shade at STBNGNP. It is a "Monument to the Sun". Combine that with ole Stanny Boy's glowing commentary about all those fans in the Red Loft and musings on how to expand it and it's clear, the objective is to turn the stadium into an open air Bier Garten - just like Wrigley has become. You have to ask yourself, why are the Cubs perennial bottom dwellers while selling out the stadium most of the time? Baseball is secondary! The fans are there for the beer fest and don't give a damn about the baseball. That means there is no real incentive to consistently put a winner on the field.
Notice how all the talk about the fan experience these days has absolutely nothing to do with the baseball? This is why I hate STBNGNP - That plus I can't ever get any sauerkraut on on my lousy hot dog. El Rey has a great idea. The crack heads and bums would go straight to the Red loft!
Hot sun + no shade + lousy team + alcohol induced relaxation of inhibitions = SHIRTS OFF!
SHIRTS OFF? SHIRTS ON!
C'mon...just wear the spaghetti stained wife-beater like the rest of us.
Agree about Wrigley. They're not baseball fans there. They are Cub fans.
I think what the DMan wanted to say is Hot sun + no shade + lousy team + alcohol induced relaxation of inhibitions + NO SAUERKRAUT FOR THE HOT DOGS = SHIRTS OFF!
