    U.S. National Soccer Team vs. Germany

    It's hard to believe that by the time the U.S. Men's National Team takes the field against Germany, it'll be just more than a year from the beginning of the 2014 World Cup. The squad -- led by Clint Dempsey, Michael Bradley and a player in Landon Donovan who is currently on a self-imposed hiatus from the sport -- drew nearly 70,000 fans to last year's friendly against Brazil at FedEx Field, so filling soccer-friendly RFK Stadium for this match against an elite German team should make for a raucous afternoon.

    Run or Dye 5K

    Most road races leave participants drenched in sweat. The inaugural 5K race Run or Dye will blanket runners with plumes of vibrant cobalt blue, ochre and magenta powdered dye, in what's best described as a sporting event crossed with the Hindu festival of colors, Holi. Friends and race crews will toss handfuls of (completely washable, non-toxic) color onto the course at intervals around RFK Stadium, until everyone crossing the finish line looks a little like a Jackson Pollock painting.

Our Review

Built in 1961, Robert F. Kennedy Stadium has hosted a variety of events that have attracted sports fans and music lovers. Until 2005, the stadium hadn't regularly been used for baseball since 1971, the last year the Washington Senators played there before relocating to Texas.

The stadium has a capacity of 45,000 for baseball and about 20,000 for soccer. RFK's versatility allows it to stage concerts as well.

There is enough parking available for over 10,000 cars and 300 buses. Visit the Hall of Stars to reflect on the history and achievement of some of the greatest local players.
