[quote=mooby;1135899]I thought DC didn't want them back unless they changed the name? I don't see the Skins going back unless DC softens on that stance.[/quote]

The name change would be moot if DC funds aren't used for the stadium. Personally I hope it's DC and I could also careless if they change the name but that is just me.

Just terrible. No way do they go out there. I just don't get DC and he name change thing. Really it comes down to helping the DC economy and that should come first before some name change BS. DC must be the worst kind of govt to deal with. They should be on their hands and knees wanting the Redskins back.

You would think that would be priority #1 with any local gov't but it appears some of DC's local politicians are more concerned with getting a little name recognition for their selves instead of helping the economy.

The story of every politician. Anyway, I doubt the name situation becomes an issue.

national harbor would be pretty terrible without major major roadwork. you'd really need to put it at exit 4+ to avoid making everyone go on the local lanes through alexandria (a true traffic nightmare), which wouldn't be on the water.

last time around danny skimped on infrastructure, and the fans have been paying for it ever since.

Jack Kent Cooke built Fedex Field.

[quote=donofriose;1135915]I want to know who would pay for it. These deals tend to screw whatever city or area they end up being in.[/quote]

so true, Mayor Kelly didn't give away the farm so she was thrown out of office.
The voters are clueless.

Doesn't DC own the land that RFK is on? I might be wrong but if they or the federal gov't own it it definitely wouldn't be a moot point. And RFK is like the only spot in DC big enough for a stadium.
