So sayeth City Paper's Jason Cherkis, who first broke this now kinda funny story on Sunday. From the D.C. FEMS press release:
The District of Columbia Fire and EMS Department met with the Washington Nationals to identify additional measures to ensure spectator safety during pyrotechnic activities at Nationals Park. These new measures will be put in place to serve as an additional layer of protection to reduce debris when fireworks are used during the National Anthem, when the team takes the field, and during the Nationals’ homeruns and victories. Normal pyrotechnic activities will resume for the next home game.That sure was fast! Or could it be that Chief Rubin's freakout was just a little over the top?

They blow'd up real good!
Flamingtoupéegeddon is IN THE MUTHAF**KIN HOUSE, BOYEE!
Glass shields over all but the cheap seats.
Why bother with firewroks? It's not like anyone goes to our new $700+ million stadium. The Nats suck ass. The crowd has been at 25% capacity (max!) at all the shitty nats games I've been dragged to...
They have large firework displays after Friday night games - that has nothing to do with the result of the game. So you're saying they should do away with a popular attraction because they have problems drawing fans? I didn't learn that in Business 101.
