Re: WP - Washington's Team Belongs In D.C.

he wouldnt want to pay for another stadium, and i dont think the people of D.C. want to pay for it, either.

The DC government would probably want to give Danny boy a sweet deal on the land because a really nice new 100,000+ seat stadium would be a HUGE selling point for the Olympic commitee. Plus, obviously, the retractable roof would mean we would have Super Bowls in DC for years to come.

Re: WP - Washington's Team Belongs In D.C.

I heard alot of good points. That mention of an olympic and super bowl site would be huge profitable venues that would go to snyder, correct?? Maybe it could be built in between DC and the practice facility as well so players didnt have to commute as much. I wasnt impressed by the skins practice facilities as compared to the Baltimore ravens. That should be overhauled also. If the stadium sat 125K believe we would sell out, much of VA. would share the market as well. Although, in the Madden games Fed Ex is classified as top end yet we know it could be better. I think this is just wishful discussion and thinking. Nothing probably will materialize unless Snyder of course gets buyers and sweet deals.

I'm sure that if that was possible Danny would have started working on it years ago. But, I'm no engineer, maybe it is possible.

Personally, I would hate going to a football game in a domed stadium, even if the weather does suck. I feel like it would take away from the experience of going to the game. Even more so, I could NEVER imagine going to a baseball game indoors, that would be terrible, IMO.

it'd be major, super expensive and it'd close the stadium down. the current plan is an inflatable dome that can be put up for a MUCH MUCH lower cost (like a hundred million less )

Think about how loud that stadium would get? 100,000+ ENCLOSED! are you serious.

The negatives really are just that we have a new stadium already. I'm down with building a new stadium.

If we lived in a world where the fans could name it, what should it be? Joe Gibbs stadium perhaps? Obvious, but I can't think of a better name. Too bad we're all capitalists.
