Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium has been one of Washington's best sports venues since it opened in 1961. The stadium was originally used to house both the National Football League's Washington Redskins and Major League Baseball's Washington Senators. However, the 56,000-seat stadium has also proven ideal for concerts and other major events. RFK Stadium played host to the 1962 and 1969 Major League Baseball All-Star game.
