Nationals Play Final Baseball Game at RFK Stadium
posted 7:42 pm Sun September 23, 2007 - WASHINGTON
When D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty called for a pregame round of applause for the stadium, the spectators obliged, loudly.
The players, however, did not. They're thrilled to be going from a leaking, creaking place that opened in 1961 to a new stadium slated to open in 2008.
Third baseman Ryan Zimmerman says they won't miss RFK. But he says it's been a great place for baseball to come back to.
The multipurpose stadium hosted baseball's Senators until 1971 and football's Redskins until 1996. The Nationals brought baseball back in 2005, sharing the place with soccer's D.C. United, which will continue to play at RFK.

A BIG WASTE OF MONEY for a team that stinks and not many people go to watch. Hope you're happy DC.
