In a little over three weeks, the Washington Nationals will take to the soon-to-be-completed baseball diamond at RFK Stadium for their first home game in over three decades.

Following the trend of most major league sports facilities in the country, District officials have been anxiously searching for a corporate sponsor willing to shell out anywhere from $1.5 to $2 million a year until 2008 for the naming rights to the stadium — a notable change for a facility built in 1961, known simply as the D.C. Stadium, and dedicated to slain presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy in 1969.

Corporations don’t seem to be lining up to take the bait, though — the Post reports today that as of yesterday’s deadline, no corporations had officially submitted offers, though three to five were planning on doing so today or tomorrow. D.C. Councilman Jack Evans (D-Ward 2) claimed last week to have seen documents identifying Verizon or Citibank as potential sponsors, though city spokespeople and company representantives have remained quiet on those prospects.
