RFK Stadium: Peanuts, Cracker Jacks and Semi-Automatic Pistols
By Chris Mottram | September 6, 2007
It’s no secret that RFK Stadium (where the Nats play, for those outside the area) is not in a nice part of town. Despite that fact, I’ve never felt less than completely safe in or around the stadium, which is probably due mostly in part to lots of booze.
So what happened in the upper deck during the Nats game last night is kind of unsettling:
A man suspected of robbing a vendor during the Nationals game at RFK Stadium apparently shot himself in the leg by mistake late last night as he tried to elude security guards, authorities said … Diane Groomes, commander of the 1st Police District, said a man robbed a vendor on the fifth floor of the stadium as the woman was closing the business for the night.
He ain’t no duct tape bandit, but that’s a crafty criminal (other than the whole shooting himself bit) seeing as the upper deck of RFK Stadium during the ninth inning is probably the least inhabited place on the planet.
And as Miss Chatter at Just a Nats Fan points out, the last line of the article is pretty hilarious:
Police recovered a semi-automatic pistol in the parking lot. The Nationals won the game, 6-4.

Imagine what would’ve went down if the Nats lost.
The Denny’s near the Shrimp Boat would’ve been off the heezy fo’ sheezy.

Whatever happened to just spelling out filthy words using empty upper deck seats? Simpler times.
