Details
As might be apparent from the name, this station is near RFK Stadium (used for DC United games, concerts, and other events) and the DC Armory (which hosts circuses and other large-scale events). The opposite exit, near Burke Street, is near DC General Hospital and the DC Jail. This is also the easternmost station with both the Blue and Orange lines.
From here you can...
go back to the Metro project,
jump to the blue or orange line,
go outbound to Minnesota Avenue or Benning Road,
or inbound to Potomac Avenue.
