The D.C. Armory is an armory and a 10,000-seat multi-purpose arena in the eastern United States, located in Washington, D.C., east of the U.S. Capitol building. Managed by the Washington Convention and Sports Authority, the Armory was constructed[3] and opened in 1941, as the headquarters,[4] armory, and training facility[3] for the District of Columbia National Guard. In recent years it has also become a venue for a broad range of events.[3] Adjacent to the northeast is RFK Stadium, which opened in 1961.
