The stadium thread 2: New stadium boogaloo

[skinsfan69]

The last thing I want is my tax dollars going to Dan Snyder to build his stupid stadium. There is literally NO WHERE for him to put it in Va. Stay over in there in Raljon.

Youngkin can assemble his football authority all he wants. When it comes down to it where are you going to go? Where can you put a stadium in Va?

Back in the early 90's Cooke was going to build it in the area that is now Potomac Yard. That would have been a hell of a location but it never happened. You could've had it there and built all around it. The building happened years later but no stadium.. :-(

Cook also wanted to raze RFK and build a new stadium there. Most notably he offered to foot most of the bill.

Discussion eventually derailed and FedEx Field was born. I used to blame then Mayor Kelley for turning down a great offer. But I have come to realize that Cook in his final years could not have been the easiest man to deal with.
