THE DESIGN Aiming for a Clean Look A tight construction schedule and tight budget made the construction of Cooke Stadium a challenge. But it's done, and with the look its namesake desired.

THE TICKETS Getting In Still a Challenge Cooke Stadium may have almost 24,000 more seats than RFK Stadium, but the odds of the average fan seeing a game have not improved much.

THE FANS They Say Stadium 'Is Like a Palace' Even for fans used to cozy RFK, the Redskins' new home is a sight to behold. "Compared to RFK and Griffith Stadium, this is like a palace," said one.

THE FOOD Concession Stands: No More Dog Daze Unlike the limited menu at RFK's concession stands, Cooke Stadium will have both more places to get food and drink and a greater variety of options.

THE OLD HOME At RFK Finale, House Rocked Whatever memories Cooke Stadium provides fans and players, the atmosphere and times spent at RFK Stadium will never be forgotten.
