RFK Stadium seats officially on sale for up to $500
WASHINGTON (FOX 5 DC) - The official launch of the Farewell RFK Stadium project was announced on Thursday along with the sale of a selection of stadium seats.
Events DC says the project aims to celebrate and honor the legacy of D.C.’s most iconic sports and concert venue, while also sharing timely updates regarding ongoing demolition activities.
"We are saying farewell to the RFK Stadium, but we remain committed to fulfilling Robert F. Kennedy’s legacy," said Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development John Falcicchio. "As the Sports Capital says farewell to this stadium and we cherish the memories we shared in it, this is a new opportunity to do as Robert Kennedy did — dream things that never were and ask why not."
