RFK Stadium? Ann needs a refresher course in all things DC. RFK is scheduled for demolition next year. It will be sad in the way that the loss of old stadiums is often sad; there is a lot of football, baseball, and soccer history tied up in RFK. The Washington Senators left a long time ago but the Nats played at RFK when they came to town and Nats Park wasn’t yet complete. The Redskins left for Landover when Jack Kent Cooke finally gave up on the permitting process for a new stadium at the RFK site. (The feds, not the city, were the problem that time around.) The Washington Freedom (women’s professional soccer) played there, as did DC United until Audi Field was built. RFK has been sitting empty for three years. I don’t know if occasional special events have been held there, but the city hasn’t wasted a penny on maintenance in years and the place is just waiting for a wrecking ball. What to do with the site is the big question.
Has anyone noticed how completely irrelevant Anne Coulter has become to the political discussion in this election cycle? All of her Trump bashing over the Wall turned off most conservatives. The President has achieved remarkable progress in the face of 2 years of obstruction by the Paul Ryan led House, and 2 years of total defiance by the Pelosi led House. Had Ryan been onside from January 2017, the entire Wall would be finished.
Biden can have a competing rally at the Capital Centre. I can get him a good price.
DC Stadium, before renaming, also hosted the Washington DC High School Football Championship games, public school champs vs Catholic school champs...until black on white mob violence...in which a K9 dog was bitten....games over.
Best civic use was as a holding tank for arsonists, looters, shooters of the 1968 MLK riot.
Given certain proggie proclamations re: election results, let’s not be so hasty in demolishing it. The old place may still have a role to play.
