Washington D.C.: home of the Smithsonian, the Capital, the White House, and many memorials to presidents, those who were killed in duty in the military, and several significant figures.

Every year, millions of tickets are sold to fans wanting to see their favorite baseball team. This is my favorite team. This is Comerica Park. Home of the Detroit Tigers. Opened in 2000, fans have filed in, no matter if the team in any particular year is horrible or championship-caliber.
