DC United, RFK Nearing Deal On New Lease Agreement

MLS DC United President & CEO Kevin Payne said that the team and RFK Stadium are "close to reaching agreement on a new lease deal that will allow the MLS club to continue playing at the 51-year-old facility." There had been speculation that the team was "seeking an alternative venue as an interim solution" while pursuing a new stadium. But with the season starting on March 10, it "became clear this winter that United would remain at RFK for the foreseeable future" (WASHINGTONPOST.com, 2/6).
