Bust of Robert F. Kennedy stolen from outside RFK Stadium

A bust of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy was stolen from outside the Washington, D.C., stadium that bears his name .

In a statement, Events DC, the company that manages the stadium, said that it “learned that the bust of Robert F. Kennedy, located in a publicly accessible space on the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium grounds, was missing from its pedestal.”

“Events DC filed a police report with the Metropolitan Police Department, and the remaining pedestal has been placed in storage,” the company added, in a statement obtained by The Hill’s sister network NewsNation.

In 2024, Congress passed legislation to assist in facilitating the redevelopment of the area known as the RFK stadium site and the return of the NFL’s Washington Commanders to the nation’s capital, with the team playing in Maryland for close to three decades.

The stadium site sits on the eastern edge of the District, near the border with Maryland.

The Commanders previously pledged $2.7 billion in private investment for the redeveloped site, with D.C. saying it would invest $1.1 billion over eight years to put up a new stadium, housing and green space on the federally-owned site on the Anacostia River.
