land status can change, especially with the money it'd bring in. it just depends who's in charge of it.

Agreed.

Stadium or no stadium, this part of town needs a metro stop BAD. I think putting a stadium there would accelerate this process.

PG county already has money from the Redskins stadium and if your statement was true about the "status " again forget that and concentrate on the RFK site.

sorry double post.

Re: Report: Redskins to unveil drawings of new stadium, location tbd
 

giantone, what happens when the lease expires and the skins move on? i'm sure they'd love more money. I'm not sure a single 1812 replica farm is the death knell to putting a stadium there.

RFK is in DC and the DC council are pretty much the worst people in the world to try and work with, and they still want to push the name change stuff too.

What would I do ?

Okay,if tearing down RFK and building on that spot is a no,then, lease RFK for 2/3 years and build on the Fed Ex site.The Skins already own it and I know Dan is made of Money but the stadium when ever it is built will go for 1.5-2 billion easy Dan is only worth 2 billion(actually a little more) and while he won't foot the whole thing he have to do a pretty good chunk.You already own the site ,there is already a metro with in distance to the stadium.Build a good well thought out stadium and people will come,please just not like the Met Life peace of crap in NJ.

Just ask the owners of the MGM Grand and just for fun that was a sight(one of many) JKC wanted back years ago and he couldn't get it

Oh they'll be going back to D.C. and won't change a thing, why because this is America and money talks, this country has never respected the natives and unfortunately they still don't.

"I think we are the best place for the team," McAuliffe said on Thursday. "Every player lives in Virginia. Dan Snyder lives in Virginia. [B]Sixty-six percent of the season-ticket holders are Virginians[/B], so it makes sense - if we can structure a deal that makes sense for us, the taxpayers, and is good for the Redskins - then that's a win-win situation. We are the ideal place."

Is that true? 10 years ago I would not have believed this but now, with the way NoVa has continued to develop, I believe it.

As a born and raised MD person, I would have a hard time accepting the fact that both redskins training facility and stadium would be in Va. The team would have zero connection to MD and MD fans would have to drive a lot farther in horrible traffic to get there.

You would be gifting frederick and howard county to the ravens. I imagine fans in montgomery county could go down 95 and fans in laurel/bowie could use the woodrow wilson bridge.

If this becomes a reality .... i dont know. How can I as a proud maryland person root for a virginia team?

Re: Report: Redskins to unveil drawings of new stadium, location tbd
 

I suppose the same way we proud Virginia folks have been rooting for a Maryland team all these years...

Let's hope Tim Kayne Hillary's VP doesn't put the kabash to this if they get elected.

Re: Report: Redskins to unveil drawings of new stadium, location tbd
 

Just a few things ......

1)If DC gets serious and Mr Snyder is serious the New Stadium will be in DC.

2)2027 is a long way away many things can happen.

3) What do you do with Fedex?
