Can the re-built RFK be built to the same specs as Qwest Field? I'd like to see the team back in the District, though I must say that I worry when cities like D.C., with so many pressing needs, subsidize billionaire owners with lavish stadium/infrastructure deals. I'm very skeptical that such moves ever work out in the favor of anyone other than the owners (and maybe the politicians who get good publicity from it). But I'm no economist ... If Jim Schwartz were the coach he'd know the answer.
