How exactly will the new stadium on the RFK site manage to host the June 26, 1993, Grateful Dead concert I attended? (That is not my ticket stub, to be clear; I just happened to go to that show.) Also, I don't want any of this if it means Real Madrid games in D.C.

The D.C. United game started with “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” in honor of Black History Month, so perhaps the administration isn’t paying close attention to pro soccer (then also “O Canada” because Toronto FC is the opponent, to scattered boos, and the “Star Spangled Banner”)
