DC may deny request to keep Metro open late for Nationals games - DC Breaking Local News Weather Sports FOX 5 WTTG

The Washington Nationals are not only hoping to make it to the playoffs - they are also hoping D.C. officials will pay to keep the Metro open late should they do so.

The team made the request last month and it appears to be a valid one.

This past Monday, hundreds of fans were stranded after a thirteen inning game because the Metro had already closed.

The Washington Post reports D.C. officials are planning to say no to the Nationals' request.
