The lounge is a far cry from the park’s former makeshift accommodations—previously, nursing moms could take their pick between family restrooms or a conference room described as “stuffy” and lacking in privacy. The new lounge got a boost from alaunched in April by Arlington mother, who found herself ushered to the conference room to nurse her baby while attending a game. Ray took to the site to advocate for an upgrade, calling for the team to create a more appropriate space for moms to breastfeed and care for their babies. Within 24 hours, the petition had garnered more than 300 signatures—and several hundred later, the team’s operations team met with Ray and another local mom to discuss plans for a family-focused room.
