We had a great time watching a DC United game recently. Our seats were great, and even though we were fairly high up, Audi Field has well positioned seats--so that you can see well without feeling that the seats are too elevated (for people like me--who don't like heights.) The food choices in the stadium are good, and the atmosphere is always fun. We also used Spot Hero and were able to park conveniently near the stadium... read more

DC United has been one of the most successful clubs in MLS to date. In terms of total MLS Cups won, DC is currently second (4 championships), trailing only the LA Galaxy (5). DC United is tied with the LA Galaxy for the most Supporters' Shields won (4 each; most seasons with best regular season record). They've also won three US Open Cups (second-most in the league) and are the only MLS team to have won either the CONCACAF Champions League and the Copa Interamericana championship. So, when it comes to Major League Soccer, this is what you call a historically elite team. DC United was one of the original 10 teams to begin MLS play in the league's inaugural season in 1996. They had success right out the gate, winning the MLS Cup in 1996, 1997, and 1999. The team carried that success into the 2000s, but aside from their 2013 US Open Cup win (where they were underdogs), they haven't won anything of consequence since. A couple of the most well-known players and coaches from DC United include Bolivian forward Jaime Moreno and American midfielder and coach Ben Olsen. Moreno and Olsen were teammates on the 1999 and 2004 MLS Cup championship teams. Moreno has gone on to set club records in many statistical categories including most appearances (427) and goals scored (162). No other DC United player has come close. The season immediately after his last as a player (2009), Olsen took the reins as head coach in 2010 after the firing of Curt Onalfo. Olsen went on to coach DC United for an entire decade (2010-2020), by far the longest tenure of any club coach. For the first 22 seasons, DC United played in the old RFK Stadium (opened 1961) which was used for a variety of sporting events including Washington Redskins (NFL), Washington Nationals (MLB), and Military Bowl (NCAA Division I FBS) games. The team has played at Audi Field since its opening in 2018. Audi Field, which was built specifically for DC United, is located about 10-15 minutes (5-6 miles) away from the old stadium, down the Anacostia River. In its final years as home to DC United, RFK was configured to seat 20,000 for MLS games, same as Audi Field. read more

I purchase a 2024 dc United season tickets and I keep emailing the account managers I don't want 2025 season ticket but they trying to take $600 from my account. FAIR WARNING - DO NOT GET THAT SEASON MEMBERSHIP!!!! They'll automatically keep attempting to take your money after telling them to stop doing it. read more

Not to be confused with AC/DC United, which play to the sound of Hell's Bells, and when I watched them play the other night, they shook me all night long. DC United were one of the original MLS teams, and I used to go and watch them and support them to some degree when I lived in Washington DC. But I always liked NY NJ Metrostars more, even when I was living around here. So DCU have a pretty hardcore fan base, and it seems like a large percentage of them are Hispanic which is cool. There's a huge Hispanic population - especially Salvadorans - living in DC. I always wish them all the best of luck and they've had some of the top players in the league, especially in the early years with their collection of Bolivians (and now you're gonna Bolivia us). They haven't been nearly as successful in recent years as they were in the early years though. They've been needing a soccer-specific stadium for a long time, but they always seemed to end up playing back in RFK. Now though, they have Audi Field. Now that DC United has its own soccer specific Stadium south of Washington DC, I'm absolutely thrilled for them and they've been waiting for this for a long time and it's absolutely amazing. But I can't say that it's one of the best in the league? Top 10 definitely. I'm not sure about top five, but it definitely gets the job done and all it really needs is for the team to return to some semblance of their former dominant glory in order for the stadium to start really picking up the way RFK Stadium used to at times when the team was really good. Unfortunately I have to take a star off because it has an extremely frugal outlook in terms of overcharging massively for everything, and having pretty uncomfortable seats, and I mean they don't even let you bring any kind of a bag in here, and instead force you to pay $15 for a locker - which is how much the ticket for the game should be. read more

Stadium seats are tiny on the second level. Everything is excruciatingly expensive. Cheap Food that is ungodly expensive. Everything about the place is really expensive and cheap. Like even the giveaway stuff like glasses, Look I know it's free and they are not going to spend a lot on it. But the sunglasses are like one time use glasses. I mean why bother even giving them away. It's too bad because my family and I want to support the team, But I will not spend my hard-earned money on tickets or at this field again. This was our second and last time going to see DC United. Best of Luck DC United. read more

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 pho shops so that's how much I recommend coming out to a game). Season opener is March 8! See you there! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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!! read more

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. read more

I love this team. DC United is truly an awesome experience. You can either take the metro to get there (easy but slower on Sundays, a lot quicker travel on Saturdays.) You can drive there if you want to have quick commute to RFk. As for the team, its an amazing team. There's lots to do. There's a VW garage with activities if you are going with kids and teenagers. There's also live music at the tailgate. Its a fun experience before the game even begins. As for the game itself. MLS is a fun time. MLS may not be FIFA World Cup level, but the play is really fast and quick now. And the team made the PLAYOFFS! I'm going this Sunday. I'm pumped for the game! read more

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). read more

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

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Hi i am new in Virginia and i would like to know when can I go and play soccer . Do they have any league around here that play for fun. Thank you read more

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 12th 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. read more

Bought a half season plan 6 months ahead of time and circumstances have it that I won't be able to make the season home games. Supported this club for decades and the first time I needed a favor the ticket sales office wouldn't give me my money back. They have yet to show me a contract that I signed or agreed to. A damn shame and disappointing after giving my heart and wallet to this club for decades. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Awesome DC sports experience. Awesome season they are having this year!

We went to DC for a week long visit. My 11 year old son is a huge soccer fan so we took him to his first MLS game where we saw DC United beat Salt Lake. This may have been one of the funnest games we as a family have been to. For our first experience we bought seats on the opposite side of the "supporters". For our family this was probably the better choice, but if you want to be part of the super enthusiastic supporter crowd then get a seat on that side of RFK. They were definitely having fun. The only draw back is that RFK is a run down stadium, but it has character. They need a new stadium. It serves its purpose, but if you can get there early and go to the tail gate in lot 8 (I think that's the right number) then you won't need to by the overpriced not so great food in RFK. I was also surprised at how quickly we were able to get out of the parking lot and back to our hotel. I think there is a metro near the stadium too. Probably one of the best customer service experiences we had (with any sporting event) is when a representative called us a couple days before the game to see if we had any questions and then they called again a day or two after the game to see how we enjoyed the game. This wasn't just a an email, but an actual call. Pretty classy I thought. If you are visiting DC or live in DC you need to go and support DC United. read more
