Re: The stadium thread 2: New stadium boogaloo

The shift to Prince Dubs makes some sense. The Commanders are drawing less and less from the DM(V) and more from Virginia. A shift closer to Richmond accommodates more of the season ticket holders.

Aesthetically it is hot trash and goes against the rationale of building a stadium with a scenic city background and reaching a younger more metropolitan audience which is what I would prefer.

Northern Va is a suburban shithole…would it matter if the back drop was Loudon, Fairfax, etc? I mean the back drop now sucks.

No it wouldn't. I was referring to the shift of building stadiums back inside city limits. Heinz field, M&T etc versus suburban dumps like Fed ex, meadowlands, Foxboro

Big facts. If you're in MD and you're just getting into football and you get to choose between rooting for the Ravens or DC - it's not a contest.

I'd like the stadium to be in DC too but it doesn't seem realistic with their footprint of what they want to build around the stadium.

I live in MD and I don't see any young people wearing Washington gear. I do see some 45+ year olds with Redskins gear but not many. My experience is that MD is either Balt, Philly, or Pgh fans now.
