What to do and see in Washington DC, District of Columbia (DC): The Best Arenas & Stadiums
Washington DC is a hub for American politics and history. Attracting as many school field trips as it does travelers the district offers a peek into the country’s democratic origin. There are plenty of free museums to take advantage of but the real draw here is the memorials and monuments dedicated to great American leaders. Spend some contemplative time at the Reflecting Pool within the National Mall, among the most patriotic places in the country.

Great new stadium, if you know the history and challenges of DC United getting a stadium in the District, than this is a huge moment and it's great to see it finally here, with DU United having their own stadium. The stadium has some great features, the architecture, the quality of food options (lots of American and Hispanic), makes sense when you consider fan base. Many of the options are food trucks you see in the District which is a great idea, not just your typical concession stand. Buy the Souvenir cup and you get free refills all game for $9 and then you can bring the cup back and continue to get refills all season (love that idea). Our seats where behind the goal, $25, but you could see everything and were able to really see the play develop, there is not a bad seat in the stadium, it is very close together and intimate, it creates great noise and has an amazing view of DC if you are sitting in the south stands. Also liked the South Stand because you can see the main video board really well. This is also the side the players come and go from so it's a good opportunity for picture opps and autographs before and after the game. The stadium was a packed and so for sure the concourse was tight, probably could have been a little wider, I am sure the vendors will figure out how to line up their queues to make the crowd not overflow into where everyone is walking, it's new, they'll figure out the kinks and it'll be find, this is no reason to not go to a game. Only other feedback I have is have kids items at the concession stand (check the Baltimore Orioles kids options), they know how to do family friendly, and I'm sure you could learn from them DC United, but I'll still come. Seriously though a kids menu or just a few items at family friendly prices would be terrific. So thankful the stadium is here now, it's the bomb, I can't give it "As Good as it gets", because it doesn't have the history yet and I've been to many European stadiums, but within MLS, it's "As Good as it Gets, well done DC United.
