There are many amenities worth looking forward to when it comes to the redevelopment of the Robert F. Kennedy Stadium-Armory Campus. Events DC recently released a rendering for what to expect for one of these amenities, more specifically the multi-purpose fields.
The plan for this roughly 217,000-square-foot project is to feature three fields that will have artificial turf and be functional at night. According to Washington Business Journal, the fields will go in the current site of the stadium’s Lot 7, just north of the RFK Stadium. There will be a youth soccer field with two baseball diamonds, two soccer and lacrosse fields, a 2,900-square-foot support building, and a picnic area and playground.
The parking lots that will serve these fields also have the possibility of being used as a site for a farmers market.
According to UrbanTurf, the plan is to open these fields by the spring of 2019.
