Remembering RFK Stadium
 

Found a photo album containing the history and 117 photos of our beloved RFK Stadium here:

The site has a ton of old stadiums from the past also.

Sacred ground.

It almost feels like you can "smell" RFK looking at those pics

Re: Remembering RFK Stadium
 

That's a great collection of photographs. I have such fond memories of RFK, Football and Baseball being played there from the day it opened. Home field advantage dissapeared when the Redskins left RFK.

RFK; a stadium that is an icon to the Redskins & DC. Please move back to the city Danny! And if that move could be to the grounds of RFK, all the better.

Maybe by 2020 my dream could come true.

not a bad seat in the house. i was hoping to see some pics of the mens bathrooms with the troofs (sp?), guys pissin in the sink, that kind of stuff reminds me of rfk even though i only remember a few games as a young kid.

and the rockin stands. i wasnt there when the skins and boys played and the whole place was rockin but the games i did go to, those kinda metal/wood foundation for the seats (i think in the corner lower levels) were rockin. not like the concrete foundations everyone has today.

the only good reason to see a nats game was to check out the ol stadium.

Only time I've managed to get to a Skins game was a 3 week solo visit in '94. Caught the Skins v Cardinals game at RFK. Fantastic day, great weather, great crowd, and even though we lost, can't complain as my man DG returned an INT for a TD. I've told the wife (then girlfriend) I'm going to take her to DC sometime and catch another game. DOn;t know when as right now it would take a lottery win! :)

Must dig out my old photo's from that day and scan them in (pre-digital age).

Some great memories there. I used to sit in sec 324 up against the wall. I have sat in the "retractable" seats that shook up and down for the Dallas game. Wow, what freaking memories.

Good thread, I made the same one not long ago

FedEx has never rocked as loud as RFK, and probably never will. With the covered rim, RFK was an acoustical nightmare for opposing QB's. I probably sustained hearing damage from the dozen or so games that I saw there, but it was certainly worth it - thanks for the memories, Buster.

Are they tearing it down?

Re: Remembering RFK Stadium
 

Eventually. Maybe for the site of the NEXT downtown stadium?
