Kennedy backs corporate label on RFK Stadium

WASHINGTON, April 8 (UPI) -- Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., supports adding a corporate sponsor's name to his slain brother's namesake RFK Stadium in Washington.

"I'm sure Bobby would support the new plan. He'd be glad that baseball is coming back to Washington, and delighted to know that children in Washington will also benefit from literacy and athletic programs under the plan," Kennedy told the Boston Herald.

D.C. officials hope to rake in $2 million annually from a corporate sponsor in exchange for adding its name to the sports complex, where the new Washington Nationals will play their season opener April 14.
