Are the Redskins becoming more of a Virginia based team?

Yes Virginia is for the most part die hard Skins fans, but if the Redskins moved all of their facilities out of VA entirely, that may not go over well with Virginia Redskins fans. The Redskins are smart by keeping their training facility in Ashburn and moving their practice camp to Richmond to reach out to their fans deeper south in the state. They are expanding and creating stronger ties with the entire state of Virginia which is a good business decision. As stated in my previous post, Virginia is a larger state with more people than Maryland, meaning more fans and more potential fans in Virginia as opposed to Maryland. The Ravens are in Maryland, and more and more Maryland residents are jumping ship to the Ravens bandwagon. It makes sense for the Redskins to strengthen their ties with VA residents and expand in VA, which is a more business friendly state with lower taxes than Maryland or DC and more people as well. I have a feeling the next stadium is going to be in VA! Hail. Make it happen Danny boy.
