RFK Stadium

The National Pastime back in the Nation's Capital

While RFK Stadium in Washington, DC is a long way from being the nicest in the big leagues, the fact that it's again hosting a baseball team is news enough! After a ridiculously long wait of 34 years, the Majors returned to our Nation's Capital in 2005. The Montreal Expos are no more, and the Washington Nationals are here to stay!

This will be the team's home until 2008, when a shiny new stadium should be completed about ten blocks south of the Capitol Building (click here for more on the proposed new stadium). And no matter how maligned 44-year-old RFK Stadium might be, it is still a better (make that a far better) place to watch a game than the team's previous home, Olympic Stadium in Montreal. At least there are people in the stands here!
