Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium,
is a professional sports stadium that
opened in the fall of 1961. Originally called D.C. Stadium, it served as
home to the Washington Senators of Major League Baseball from the spring
of 1962 through 1971, when the team moved to Arlington, Texas. It also
served the Washington Redskins, a team in the National Football League,
from 1961 until 1996, when they moved to FedExField in suburban
Maryland. The stadium now serves as the home of the Washington Nationals
of Major League Baseball and D.C. United of Major League Soccer.
It has also hosted soccer matches in the (men's) 1994 World Cup and 2003
Women's World Cup.
On September 29, 2004, Major
League Baseball announced its intentions to move the Montreal Expos to
Washington, D.C. and rename them the Washington Nationals. RFK Stadium
has undergone a $13 million dollar renovation, and is planned to be used
for a total of three years for the new baseball team, while a $611
million dollar state-of-the-art stadium is built on the north bank of
the Anacostia River at South Capitol Street. Their first regular-season
home game at RFK was April 14, 2005, vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks.
