He could build a real gem, with good sight lines, the most modern DIGITAL replay scoreboards, good food, etc. And it would be another good thing for the distrcit, which needs it more than MD. BUt my guess is given the city's politics, it'll never happen. (But I thouhgt Joe Gibbs would never come back, so what do I know! )

I agree! Fed Ex was built right before the new Camden Yards versions of football fields were built. I hate to say it but the Linc looks like a sweet stadium.

Can you imagine a DC football stadium lit up on a Monday night, Skins vs Cowboys with the Washington Monument and the Capital building in sight? It'd be sweet.

If it were to happen, something would needed to be done about the acoustics. RFK sounded a LOT louder than Fed Ex with 90k. I'm not an architect, I dunno how it's possible...but it needs to be done

As far as the sentiment of the initial post...to me it doesn't really matter where they play, just as long as they're in the area and keep the name the same.

The city just wants to be greedy and to get a piece of the action.
