About RFK Stadium

RFK Stadium, a long‑standing multi‑purpose venue in Washington, DC, opened in 1961 and has hosted football, baseball, soccer, and major international events. Located at 2400 East Capitol Street SE, the site is being redeveloped into the New Commanders Stadium and mixed‑use development. While the original structure has been demolished, RFK’s legacy and the surrounding transit, parking, and nearby amenities remain of interest to fans and visitors. We’ve got you with clear, practical details to help you plan visits, whether you’re researching history or exploring the redevelopment site.

Transit to the RFK area is currently supported by the Washington Metro at Stadium‑Armory (Orange/Blue/Silver lines), with additional city bus routes serving the site. Historically, RFK offered extensive surface parking to accommodate large crowds for football, baseball, and soccer. The future plans for the RFK Campus Redevelopment include new parking infrastructure as part of the overall site program. For guests seeking nearby lodging and dining, there are several affiliate‑partner hotels and restaurants in and around Capitol Hill and Navy Yard that offer convenient access to the redevelopment area. When planning a visit, secure your seats or arrangements early, and rely on us for straightforward tickets and reliable information.
