History

Riverside Stadium was opened to the public in 1938. In the early 1940s, the stadium played host to several "ice carnivals" and was considered to be an important venue to showcase competitive skating skills. [2] [ better source needed ] Riverside Stadium was demolished to make way for the construction of the larger landmark, the National Cultural Center. The new facility was renamed in 1964 as the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
