The stadium opened in autumn 1961 as District of Columbia Stadium (often shortened to D.C. Stadium). When it opened, D.C. Stadium hosted the Redskins, the Senators, and the GWU Colonials football team, all of whom had previously used Griffith Stadium. Its first official event was an NFL regular season game on October 1. The Redskins lost that game to the New York Giants 24–21 before 36,767 fans, including President John F. Kennedy. The stadium was renamed in January 1969 for U.S. Senator and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, who had been assassinated in Los Angeles seven months earlier. The announcement was made by Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall on January 18, in the last days of the Johnson Administration. The dedication ceremony at the stadium was held several months later on June 7. In 1996 the stadium hosted the Redskins' final home game in Washington, D.C. and Jack Kent Cooke decided to move his team to Maryland. On December 22, 1996, the Redskins won their last game at RFK Stadium 37–10 over the Dallas Cowboys, reprising their first win there in 1961, before 56,454, the largest football crowd in stadium history.
