My conclusion is that if the stadium is going to be in Springfield, the best bet is the site of the current GSA warehouse just south of Springfield Mall. Definitely not far down 95, and within walking distance of Franconia-Springfield metro. It's right off the Beltway in the same way Fedex is.

Secondly, you know I agree with you on plenty, including how much cops and troopers love to write tickets around here (I just passed a speed trap at 4:45 this morning on Route 1, luckily he sits in the same spot every time so I know better than to speed there). But you do not get a ticket for reckless for going 16 over. My last ticket (admittedly in 2010) was for going 56 in a 35, and the Fairfax County officer told me he could charge me for reckless since it was 20 over but since it was next to Five Guys HQ in Lorton (not a developed area) he just charged me for ordinary speeding. I still speed every day but I've been able to avoid speeding tickets for 10 years now by just going with the flow of traffic. If they're doing 70-80, so am I. Doing 60, so am I.

Bold move Cotton! J/K. I don't drive very fast on freeways anymore even if I'm on the road by myself. I don't care about driving fast nowadays, I just care about moving down the line. But on residential, if a light is red for no reason, I go through that 60% of the time, every time. There is a new complex by my work that is on my way home from work (similar but slightly different route to work), that literally every single signal is broken. I mean like, if I'm going straight, from the opposite side, the left hand turn light will turn green when no one is going left, while I sit there with my thumb up my ass. That took me around twice to treat that intersection as a suggestion. Eventually I'm gonna get a $500 dollar ticket for going through that light, even though its 100% justified.

Where I live in Central Virginia all lights are on timers, not a single one is on a sensor. I wouldn't dare run a red light around here as there are cops hiding in places you would never see them in other states.

Famous wit Dave Barry once described the State of Maryland as "a speed trap between Delaware and Virginia". I'd say that's about right.

I have only been in Maryland a handful of times, mostly to fetch machine shop supplies out of Baltimore. I noticed two things a lot, many of the roads in poor shape, some of it reminded me of driving in Tijuana Mexico. Another thing seemed to be areas where the posted speed limits were much lower than similar roads would be in other states.

I am about 40 miles northwest of Richmond. I am in Caroline County, but on the edge of Spotslyvania and Hanover counties. I have ran into guys that have lived for a long time in the Richmond area and don't know where Beaverdam is. The place is famous for General Custer burning down the train station down 3 times during the civil war.
