Many are certainly lamenting that we may not be able to see any baseball this year at Nationals Park. However, the District of Columbia will still be collecting the Ballpark Fee which is coming due June 15, 2020.

Washington, D.C. officials helped bring baseball back to the nation’s capital in 2008 by establishing a Baseball Fee. Initially, only businesses with a physical connection to the district had to pay the fee. However, businesses now have to pay it if revenues from services were delivered to customers located there, regardless of where the service was actually performed.
