DC: RFK's View From Above


DC: RFK's View From Above
Originally uploaded by jmharper.
RFK Stadium is one of the last multi-purpose stadiums remaining, and it has a couple of uses. The prime tenant, of course, is the Nationals, but the very successful soccer team, DC United also calls RFK home.

Compromises have to be made when trying to accommodate many uses, and for RFK, the compromise is the view from the seats in the outfield. This view from the upper deck in left field shows that the outfield wall is well out of sight. Even the steepness of the deck doesn't help!

Everywhere else in the ballpark, the views are fine, unless you are at the very back of the lower deck, where the overhang of the upper deck osbcures your view of the scoreboard.
