i can't imagine them actually putting a moat around a stadium though. besides being expensive and providing no return, it also creates bottlenecks on the bridges, which is bad for a place where 80k people are going to come in and leave at one time. it's also a security and safety issue. |

60 Minutes just ran the story on the architect and showed the model of the stadium. The man is innovative and original.

Re: Report: Redskins to unveil drawings of new stadium, location tbd
I like that the design appears to have a least one hump around the rim. Pulls on all the right RFK heartstrings.

I don't know if the final design will include a moat either since space will most likely be at a premium, but if they are trying to be creative I can see why they included.

Re: Report: Redskins to unveil drawings of new stadium, location tbd
Are there any retractable roof stadiums in the Northeast right now?
I don't see how not having one is a deal breaker. I'm sure all these things are being considered. That's what you pay developers for. |

Re: Report: Redskins to unveil drawings of new stadium, location tbd
Gotta think this design is more in the vein of marketing. The moat is an..."eye catching" conversation piece I'm thinking. Pretty impractical, but the concept of integrating green space and creating more of a park atmosphere is a good direction. Id agree that a roofed stadium is probably more appealing to DS and the NFL financially.

Can't wait to swim in the moat in mid-December!!
Actually the rumor I heard about the moat, is that it would connect to the river that surrounds the old RFK location. So it might be a subtle hint as to the location. Not sure which river is there, I'll leave it to the local geography experts. |

Stadium or no stadium, this part of town needs a metro stop BAD. I think putting a stadium there would accelerate this process.
