D. C. United

Came here for my first DC United game with husband who is a supporter. United staff are certainly trying to bump up sales for season tickets and I anticipate they will push hard when the new stadium opens OR they will keep pushing now in order to help fund the rest of the building project. We participated in the flag carry before the game and while the RFK stadium staff seemed not to know or care where to direct us for this part, the United staff were friendly and helpful. Nice stock of items in the team store but the store itself is small and crowded post game.

A great first experience here and very convenient to get to stadium. It was fun and we’ll be back as we had a great time. There seemed to be a lot of stadium personnel which was refreshing. Bathrooms were clean and stocked.

The Hubster: Die hard DC Sports fan who rotates his collection of hats on a monthly basis
Me: When I attend a game, it’s because I am hoping to get on the Kiss cam or to show off my awesome tailgating skills
Because of the boy, I get dragged to a lot of games. DC United is by FAR my favorite team (after the Caps) to root for for the following reasons alone:
1) The fans: I can’t tell the difference between a hat trick and a … (insert some soccer term here… my knowledge does not even go that far) so attending other sports games gets kind of dull after I’ve finished my beer and half smoke. But at DC United, the swell of excitement from the fans… from their stamping… the music… the flags… the yelling. It is so easy to get swept up in their passion here. My heart swells with pride every time I think of attending a game here.
2) The food: Nowhere else in the District can you get handmade pupusas or fajita meat and rice at a stadium. Hot dogs? So overrated!
3) The gossip! Remember back in the day when Freddie Adu dated JoJo? That’s some Hollywood romance going on in our backyard right there!
I just got super pumped up writing this review (and let’s face it… all my super pumped up reviews are about ramen joins and phở shops so that’s how much I recommend coming out to a game). Season opener is March 8!
See you there!

BEST FANS IN MLS!!!
I cannot wait for a new stadium and more international matches!!!
VAMOS UNITED

dc united
vamos united!

If you are looking for a fun (and reasonably priced) experience, DC United delivers. Currently playing in decrepid old RFK, the fans are what makes the game. The additional energy that Barra Brava and the Screaming Eagles (the two supporting clubs) bring to the game is what really makes the audience the 12^th man for these games. Delivering a solid soccer game on most every night they play, it is a fun way to spend a night or afternoon.

Had SO much fun at the DC United tailgate. Only $ 12 for All-​You-​Can-​Eat food and All-​You-​Can-​Drink Beer. = amazing.
Food — was way better than expected. FOr a vegetarian I was pleasantly surprised at the options, especially being a tailgate. They not only had vege burgers, but ravoli, cheese pizza, nice salad, chips and guacamole, and more. Desserts were homemade as well.
Beer — was also impressive. Was expecting Bud light etc… but they had Dogfish head, Belgium beers, and other good beers. They did however run out of beer fairly quick so get there early.
Lines were long (for food and beer).

Great experience sitting with La Barra Brava… There is some much chanting and cheering going on in the stands you of forget they are playing soccer; and if they score be prepared to have all sorts of beer, popcorn, peanuts, and smoke bombs tossed in the air!

Can’t say I’d give DC United five stars for their performance on the field so far… this review is more pointed to their season ticket holder representatives and my experience with them so far.
After finding out that my wife works with a big soccer fan, we decided to go in with him and his wife on some season tickets. Right from the beginning my ticket representative has been great! He’s very attentive, and quickly responds to any inquiries that I have.
I really can’t overstate just how pleased I am with my experience so far as a DCU season ticket holder. I would recommend it to anyone. The fan experience during a game at RFK is completely unique to the DC area.
DCU is coming around on the field as well. You have to like the acquisitions they’ve made recently. Now if we could just get a new stadium…
Highly recommend!

DC United’s been on a bad run of form for the last two seasons but that doesn’t stop its fans from having a rip-​roaring time at the games! We take our kids to games regularly and, sitting across from the Barra Brava and other fan groups, we love watching them make RFK «bounce»!
We are all football (soccer) fans in our family and, having been raised in England, I know proper supporters when I see them — DC United has them in truckloads.
It’s true that RFK Stadium is not the salubrious of venues, and the team desperately needs a new home of its own. But they make the very best of this old joint, and the supporters sing their hearts out, no matter how the team may be doing.
We’ve taken several friends to games and everyone’s had a good time (again, no matter the result!), so they must be doing something right at United. And, compared to other professional sports in DC, these guys actually win important trophies and don’t charge an arm and a leg to get in!

Most Americans haven’t accepted soccer as an enjoyable sport yet… at least not to watch anyway. And I understand it. There’s significantly less scoring than most other sports, and there’s less room to advertise especially on tv than most other sports which is why it’s not popular to televise.
That being said though, those who can take a minute to truly watch and appreciate the beautiful game will realize why it is called that. And in the MLS, the United States’ premier soccer league, there are few teams with such a prominent and successful history as DC United.
I’ve been a DC United fan since their very first season. And I try to attend at least half of their home games every season. On top of that, I’m a member of the Barra Brava fan club that supports DC United. And if you’ve never been to a game to see the love that DC United fans show their team, you’re missing out. It’s a phenomenal atmosphere at an affordable price that’s good for everyone, young and old. And with the MLS now bringing in more and more high profile international players such as David Beckham, Thierry Henry, Cuauhtemoc Blanco, Freddie Ljungberg, and Rafael Marquez… there’s no better reason to go!
I HIGHLY recommend you attending a DC United game as soon as possible. And be sure to try and get seats as close to the Barra Brava and Screaming Eagles fan clubs as possible.

I am what you would call a casual sports fan. I don’t know anything about who is playing who on what dates or how many wins/​losses the team I’m watching has. But I do like attending sports games for recreation. And I have to say that DC United games are really fun.
The fan section can get REALLY rowdy (read — beer spilled all over you) so if you’re not up for a crazy time, I would suggest getting general seating. But if you want to sing and stand up the whole time, this section is for you. Also, having the older stadium makes this really fun because the whole place literally vibrates with the fans’ energy.
Beers are an expensive $ 10 each, but they are larger than normal size. I strongly suggest going to a tailgate even if you aren’t a member of a fan group because you pay one price for all you can eat and drink before the game.

DC United is by far the best sporting experience in the area. They are also the only sports team in the city that ever wins anything on a regular basis. It’s just a shame they don’t get the media attention or the full adoration that say the redskins or the nationals do in the metro area. Yes yes i know the stadium is ancient but also one must consider the tradition and the winning history behind it. Not only in the DC united days but also in the days when the Redskins actually won games too. The fans are the best a team in the MLS can ask for, and the team has the richest tradition of any in the league. Food and beer arent at the best prices, but compared to what you would pay at Fed Ex field or Nationals park, it’s a bargain

By far the BEST sports experience in the DC metro area. People are dumb for complaining about the stadium especially that dork from Seattle or Washington state or whatever. Yeah, they escort you fools in. It’s for your own good, trust me. As far as beatings… it happens. God forbid if you ever went to Italy. Vamos UNITED! Oh and, more trophies than anyone in this town will ever get.

Crappy stadium, obnoxious fans.
It’s not a good sign when, as a visiting fan, a security escort into the stadium is mandatory (no joke). As we were walking to the seats, the guard told me it was because some New England fans were beaten in the parking lot before a game a few years ago.
$ 10 beers after they bragged about $ 2 beer specials for months.
This place is a joke.
