- March 10, 2016, 03:29:42 PMWe have done a peanut free game (twice IIRC). Those are two to three games a year and the seating is in a corporate type box pretty far from the field.
A couple of years ago, we took our daughter to a Yankees-Nats game and sat in the regular seats. A girl directly behind DD started shelling peanuts; I nicely asked her mom if they could shell them away from DD and they graciously complied. There was also a man who did the same over the extra seat we had purchased (BIL was unable to come with us); again, I asked him if he could refrain from doing that, and he graciously complied. Our seats were a row our two in front of the overhang for the second level seats. It was a breezy day, and we had peanut skins rain down on us from above. DD did not have any reactions, but it wasn't the most relaxed environment to watch the game. I would probably do it again but I'd either purchase seats well in front of the overhang or well under.
In terms of food there, DD was able to have a hot dog from Ben's Chili Bowl and may have had a pretzel or popcorn.
DD is contact reactive.

I don't know anything about the Nationals' park, but I'm going to move your post to the main discussion board so hopefully someone with experience will see it and answer.
ETA: I found this info about peanut free games for 2015, but maybe you could contact the person mentioned in the article for 2016 dates.

Here's another link with some good info (I don't think those dates are for this season, but even so there's still good info): https://shmallergy.wordpress.com/tag/stadium/
