Among Events DC’s standout moments was the unveiling of DC’s newest sports tradition: the AT&T Nation’s Football Classic®, which is held annually at RFK Stadium in Washington, DC.

RFK Stadium hosted the Foo Fighters’ 20th anniversary extravaganza on Saturday, July 4, 2015.  The blockbuster announcement to play at RFK followed a Washington Post review of the band's intimate performance at the Black Cat in late October 2014.  Dave McKenna writes, “The Foo Fighters could have gigged at RFK Stadium instead of spending the night at a cozy rock club.”

On Thursday October 8, 2019, the Washington Mystics won their first-ever WNBA title in front of an energized home crowd at the Entertainment and Sports Arena in DC after prevailing over the Connecticut Sun 89-78 in a hard-fought five game series.

Playing as the top-seeded team in the playoffs after a dominant regular season, the Mystics found a way to overcome a fierce opponent in the Sun and an untimely game 2 back injury to two-time league MVP Elena Delle Donne which limited her minutes at times during the series.
