	Harold Brazil, memorandum on dividing Sports and Entertainment Commission, October 3, 2003
		Even the one remaining major league tenant of the stadium, Major League Soccer, is intent on moving to a new facility, either in the District or in suburban Maryland or Virginia.
		Beyond stadium concerts, there is a limited, erratic demand for the use of RFK Stadium as a non-music special-event facility.
		The DC Armory has the potential to generate positive (though not substantial) revenue, but this revenue is unlikely to be generated without a significant and sustained capital investment plan for the facility.

		Originally called "D.C. Stadium," this was the first of the boring doughnut-shaped "cloned" dual-use stadiums that spread like crabgrass during the 1960s and 1970s.
		RFK is the smallest stadium of this genre, which gives it a somewhat cozier feeling that greatly accentuated the noise level of Redskins games during their heyday in the 1970s and 1980s.
		One of the aesthetic drawbacks of RFK stadium is that the lights were attached to the roof in a haphazard fashion, not in sync with the curved roofline.

	RFK Stadium - Washington Nationals
		RFK Stadium will always draw the ire of many ballpark enthusiasts because of its history as the first multi-purpose, concrete donut stadium built in what came to be known as the cookie cutter era.
		The way the stadium was built leads me to believe that it was designed as a baseball-first facility, since the nature of the curves in the concrete were grooved in a manner that catered to creating better seating options for a baseball game.
		RFK Stadium is primarily remembered today for the football games it hosted as the longtime home of the Washington Redskins, who left for the Maryland suburbs after their 1996 season.

	RFK Memorial Stadium
		The end-zone seats are closest to the field, allowing fans to ride visiting quarterbacks when their teams must operate in the shadow of the goal posts.
		Stadium employees work for the city, not the Redskins, and are known to give civil servants and uncivil reputation.
		The Redskins are moving from the 53,000-seat stadium, known as D.C. Stadium when it was built in 1961 and now the smallest in the NFL, into a 78,600-seat state-of-the-art facility five miles away in Landover, Maryland.

	A new multiuse facility is the only sensible choice
		The stadium's plumbing, wiring and lead-based paint are unsafe and would have to be replaced if renovation of Victory Stadium is the option chosen.
		As to the N&W deed's provisions, its condition is that the land must be used for "stadium, armory, park and recreational purposes only." Future use of the site as soccer fields is consistent with that language.
		I can hardly wait to attend the first event in the new stadium, to see how pleased our young ballplayers, their coaches and parents, and all Roanokers will be with their new sports and entertainment facility.

	The city pledged to maintain a stadium
		What has not been exposed to the general public, however, either by design or neglect, is the incontrovertible and startling fact that Victory Stadium was created on the inescapable condition that the land on which it was built could be used only for a stadium.
		This property was generously given to the city and its citizens in 1941 on the express condition that it be used to erect a stadium and, after such construction, on the further covenant that it would be maintained as such.
		Victory Stadium was created on the inescapable condition that the land on which it was built could be used only for a stadium.

	MLS priority on soccer-specific stadiums might be might be misplaced.
		The league's stadium problem is exemplified by D.C. United which plays at RFK Stadium, essentially a city-owned facility.
		"Stadiums show a commitment on the part of an owner to his fans, show the sport's commitment to a community and when the community steps up to build a stadium, it shows the faith the community has in the team and in the sport," commissioner Garber said..
		In markets where there are stadiums, however, would it be wiser to devote more money to marketing the sport at the grassroots level, not just in trying to sell season tickets to businesses, and to acquiring more quality players for every team.

		The metro station at Stadium Armory was overwhelmed with passengers heading toward and exiting from the game, making the return home an necessarily lengthy experience.
		As I left the stadium, I overheard a man telling his friend that every morning now, his son wakes up and asks, "How did our team do last night?" The father told his friend that nothing has made him prouder as a father.
		The ball was the same one Grzenda used to throw the last pitch at RFK Stadium on Sept. 30, 1971 at the last game of the Washington Senators before the team moved to Arlington, Texas.

		The stadium -- hailed as cutting edge design at the time -- was opened in October 1961 when the Washington Redskins played against the New York Giants, witnessed by 36,767 fans.
		The stadium is a horseshoe bowl with the north end open.

	Expansion, new stadiums and ‘Hail Argentina!’
		In my story last week on which players Argentina will have available for its June 13 match at RFK Stadium in Washington, I indicated that Ariel Ortega might be one of those who would have to return to play in Spanish league matches that same weekend.
		That is about one-fifth the cost of Baltimore's Camden Yards baseball park or Baltimore's new football stadium, or the new football stadium in Cleveland (to cite a few new stadiums).
		So if MLS could build a series of $30 million stadiums, and keep all the revenues it is now paying out, it would be a financial boost for the league.

		We met up at Union Station and proceeded to take the D6 down to Stadium/Armory (a much better way to get to the stadium, in my opinion, as the Rich White Folk coming in from VA are absolutely petrified of MetroBuses).
		We were running a little late, so after the short hike to the main gate of RFK from the Metro stop where the bus disembarks, we got into the line at the main gate right around 7:00 pm (first pitch was scheduled for 7:05).
		As Linc and I were walking back to the bus stop, across the large median in front of the Armory dividing the east and west bound lanes of East Capitol, I bumped into a guy motoring in the same direction as us who was on crutches.

	BigSoccer Boards - Anyone attending the Aug31 away match?
		The stadium is on the Metro -- the Stadium/Armory stop on the blue or orange lines.
		On the inside, I don't think there are any bad seats, it's a good stadium to see a game (just much much larger than Spartan).
		RFK is a huge stadium and it is never full (if you didn't kniw it was designed for football) so you shouldn't have trouble finding a seat.
