D.C.’s Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium has been cleared for demolition after the National Park Service found that the demolition would have no negative impact on the environment surrounding RFK campus.
The 63-year-old stadium has been in serious disrepair for years and has not been used since 2019.
While Events D.C., the organization responsible for the management of the stadium, had cleared it out, the city had been waiting as NPS evaluated if the stadium on park land could be safely taken down.
The next step is for NPS to issue a permit for the D.C. government to demolish the stadium. Then both administrations will need to sign an agreement that the District can continue to use the property, according to the 1957 District of Columbia Stadium Act’s requirements.
