Stadium Memorabilia FAQ

How many seats will Events DC sell from Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium?

Events DC will release some 8,000 units for sale at www.stadiumseatdepot.com. An initial sale of orange wood and plastic seats began November 3. More units will be released in 2023.  

What is a unit of seats?

Due to the construction of the original stadium, pairs of seats share armrests. So each unit will be two seats. Single seats also will be available at a lower price.

How much will seats cost?

Orange Wood Seats: Single $399.99 Double $499.99
Orange Plastic Seats: Single $349.99, Double $449.99

Burgundy and Gold wooden and plastic seat pricing for 2023 is TBD.

In what condition will the seats be in?

Stadium seats are sold in authentic “as-is” condition and will show signs consistent with outdoor stadium usage. This may include fading from the elements and other nicks, scratches, minor cracks and other imperfections from fan use. The seats will be in otherwise good repair with no damage that renders them unusable.

Each unit will be fitted with special brackets that will allow the new owner to display the seats or bolt them to a wall or floor. They are not stable enough for use as seats without being secured.

Stadium Seat Depot sells a patented "Seat Feet" bracket to make it portable, stable and safe to sit in without bolting it down. You can view and purchase this along with your seat at Stadium Seat Depot RFK page. 

When can I order my units/seats?

The initial sales period for the first inventory of seats is now open at Stadium Seat Depot - RFK. More units will be available as the vendor removes them and prepares them for sale.

Where can I pick up my seats and when?

The initial sale pick-up dates will be in-person ONLY on December 16, 17 and 18  at the RFK Stadium Campus in Washington, DC. Once seats are purchased, you’ll receive more detailed instructions.

Why do the seats cost so much?

The cost of units accounts for the labor and removal of the seats from the stadium and the preparation for sale including inspection and reassembly. A portion of seat sale proceeds will benefit the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Washington and St. Coletta of Greater Washington.

Where do the proceeds go?

A portion of seat sale proceeds will benefit the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Washington and St. Coletta of Greater Washington. The remainder will help fund the overall demolition project. 

Can I request a specific seat number?

Unfortunately you can not purchase a specific seat number. Only the material (wood vs. plastic) or number of units. All seats sold will be in working condition "as-is" and will show signs consistent with years of stadium use.
