Baseball returns to Washington, D.C.

Almost 33 years to the date of the Senators' final game in Washington, D.C., the
District and Major League Baseball on Wednesday announced that the Montreal
Expos are moving to the nation's capital.

The Expos will be the first MLB franchise to move since 1971 when the second
Senators franchise left Washington for Arlington, Texas. The Expos will be
renamed and plan to play the next three seasons at RFK Stadium while a new $400
million ballpark is being built at a location along the Anacostia River
waterfront near M and South Capitol Streets, which is now the preferred site
among the four proposed in the District last year.

RFK Stadium hasn't had baseball regularly since the Senators moved to Texas. The
Senators played 10 years at RFK when the oval, two-decked stadium with the
roller-coaster facade opened in 1962.
