RFK Stadium: Home of D.C. United

Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium has been one of Washington's best sports venues since it opened in 1961. The stadium was originally used to house both the National Football League's Washington Redskins and Major League Baseball's Washington Senators. However, the 56,000-seat stadium has also proven ideal for concerts and other major events.

RFK Stadium has hosted many World Cup qualifiers, international friendlies, World Cup Finals games in 1994, and Olympic matches in 1996. That year also saw D.C. United claim RFK as their home ground in the inaugural Major League Soccer season. More >
