Overview
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.

Baseball and football were the major attractions at RFK for many years, but both
teams eventually found new homes. However, the stadium continued to be used
regularly and quickly became known as one of the best soccer venues in the
country.
With the stadium's beautiful natural grass field and United's ample and vocal crowd support, RFK Stadium soon became known as one of the toughest places to play in MLS. RFK Stadium has hosted two |
MLS Cups including the 1997 match that saw United capture its second consecutive championship before an overflow crowd of more than 57,000 people. In 2002, RFK hosted its first MLS All-Star match, with United's own Marco Etcheverry taking home MVP honors on his home field.
RFK Stadium is proud to be the home for D.C. and American soccer fans, and its legacy continues to get stronger thanks to the support of the D.C. area's loyal soccer enthusiasts. D. C. United encourages you to come out to RFK and see the best soccer in the country in one of the most stories stadiums in our land.
