Think its a requirement to have a covered field for a SuperBowl.. So Danny would have to either build a dome or a stadium with a retractable roof to have a chance at his dream.

Yep the suits at the NFL are scared to death of a game being uncomfortable for folks (businesses) so you better either be a warm weather destination or have a dome.

The Super Bowl is not about football fans, it is about the corporate sponsors who pay lots of money throughout the year to have their names plastered over everything.

I would have to say if I died tommorrow one of my biggest regrets would be not seeing the skins at RFK,the only time I've ever been there was to see "The Who" on their supposed last tour in 89

I attended that concert too! My wife was 6 months pregnant with our first child - I joke with my daughter that The Who was her first concert ;-)

I don't think that loud will be a problem this afternoon. Let's make sure Sean hears every voice.

JKC wanted to tear down RFK, but there was such an uproar about it, the idea was scrapped. Then, the secret deal fell apart to build a stadium at Potomac Yard. Remember that? Then, with no other options it seems, he decided to build on the site of the current FedEx field. In freaking landover! I HATE that place. It's not close to anything!
There was nothing like redskins games at RFK. They spent millions refurbishing it for the 2 years the Nationals have been playing...I hate to see them tear it down...but I guess it does make sense to build a retractable roofed stadium, if you are going to build a stadium at all. I would love to see 1 more game at RFK. Now that would be cool.
