The players on the Washington Nationals baseball team weren’t the only ones making good plays this summer. In May, Nats officials announced the NatsLive Post-Game Concert Series—a sequence of three free concerts that would begin 15 minutes after the end of each baseball game.

This past weekend was the last concert. What screams summer more than a baseball game and an outdoor concert? Nationals Chief Operating Officer Andrew Feffer couldn’t imagine anything else.

“Not only will Nationals fans get to watch great baseball, but now they can enjoy performances from multi-platinum selling artists for free, right here at Nationals Park,” he said.

When first publicized, the original lineup included country singer Dierks Bentley on June 2, The Wallflowers on July 21 and Third Eye Blind on August 18. Bentley cancelled his show due to a serious illness in the family. Well-known country band Big & Rich filled in that day.

But don’t go getting your daisy dukes in a bundle, Bentley and his luscious curls returned this Saturday after the 1:05 p.m. Nats game for a final salute to summer.

“There’s nothing more fun on a summer afternoon than a baseball game and some country music,” Bentley told NBC Washington.

And the series was a big hit with baseball and music fans alike.

“We already picked the date to get a large group together to attend the game, so the concert wasn’t actually the reason for attending,” said 51-year-old Washington resident Ed Cannon, who attended the Third Eye Blind concert earlier this summer. “However, the concert did keep our attention and instead of maybe even leaving before the game was over, we decided to stay for the concert.”

Fans who wanted to take advantage of the free country concert were required to purchase a valid ticket for the Nats game that day. And what better place for an outdoor concert than the (nat)mosphere of the Natioinals Park Stadium?

“I really liked the idea of having the opportunity to see a popular band in a setting that was more relaxing than the usual concert venue,” said 51-year-old Washington resident Caroline Cannon, who attended the Third Eye Blind concert with her husband. “With it following the game, it added a great ‘second act’ to an already enjoyable night.”
