Nearly 1,000 stadium seats and 21 turnstiles from the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium have been sold to fans up and down the eastern seaboard since Events DC kicked off the Farewell RFK Stadium campaign in November 2022.
The campaign is a collective way for the greater RFK Stadium community to celebrate and honor the legacy of DC’s most iconic sports and concert venue.
Beginning April 3, the burgundy and gold seats from the upper level officially went on sale in singles and pairs by our partner, Stadium Seat Depot. Orange seats from the lower level and turnstiles are still available.
RFK Stadium has served as a landmark and an entertainment venue that helped to build memories for so many people in the District, Maryland and Virginia, the country and the world. Over the years, the Commanders, Washington Nationals and D.C. United have all called the stadium home and the stadium also hosted a wide range of major events, including 1996 Olympic soccer, the 1994 Men’s FIFA World Cup, the 2003 FIFA Women’s World Cup and countless concerts and performances.
RFK Stadium opened in 1961 as the DC Stadium and was renamed in honor of Senator Robert F. Kennedy in 1969. After serving as a sports and concert venue until 2019, the stadium has since been closed to the public and is now undergoing selective demolition.
Over the past several years, Mayor Bowser and Events DC have joined efforts to put parts of the campus back to productive use for the community, including opening The Fields at RFK Campus in 2019.
Events DC plans to honor the incredible legacy of the stadium with public events as we lead up to complete demolition.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of stadium seats and memorabilia will benefit the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Washington and St. Coletta of Greater Washington.
