Re: Are the Redskins becoming more of a Virginia based team?
Per Taylor36 over at EXTREMESKINS from this thread... Where do you thin the skins new stadium will be?
They already are. My brother-in-law, who works for Jim Cheng, the Secretary of Commerce for the Commonwealth, told me around Christmas that Virginia has already put together a delegation to work with Snyder and his top brass to get them to build their stadium within the borders of the Virginia (the exact location is still one factor being negotiated). Supposedly, a lot of ground work has been laid already, and verbally behind closed doors, most of a deal has already been done. I guess there are a few factors/issues that need to be ironed out (like location) before stuff starts to move towards paper, and he said some of that will not be cleared up until after November 5 of this year, the date of the VA gubernatorial election. Also, there is a leasing issue that the team has to take care of. But, he said that the thought is a deal could be reach and construction started that may take several years to complete (no need to rush) and could allow for an easy (cheaper) contract breach on the Redskins part. |

Re: Are the Redskins becoming more of a Virginia based team?
It only makes sense that the Redskins would build a new stadium in Virginia. Why compete for fans with Maryland who has the Baltimore Ravens? The Redskins should further their ties with the great state of Virginia. The most business friendly state in America, lower taxes than DC or Maryland, more people in Virginia than DC or Maryland. It's time for Virginia to stake claim to the Skins.
Why not rename them the Virginia Redskins as well? |

Since when did Virgina make Kool-Aid?If you check the link the Redskins are tied into FedEx for at least 12 more years ,now what do you do with the stadium,Dan Snyder will need the revenue to build a new place ,who will buy it Ravens ..no, U-Maryland..no,Virgina as far as the Skins moving doesn't have a chance,DC would be the better spot if they could go but they can't.

Re: Are the Redskins becoming more of a Virginia based team?
Also, can we PLEASE be allowed to use giant animated signatures?! I think it would really jazz up this boring site. Thanx

Re: Are the Redskins becoming more of a Virginia based team?
As a loyal Virginian all my life, I would just like to say to Marylanders and DCers, naa naa boo boo, stick your head in doo doo.
Seriously, idc where the stadium is located as long as it's in the general DMV area. Even though I'm sure Snyder would like to get more support out of Richmond/Virginia Beach, I don't see any way in hell a stadium gets built there. I did read Rick Snider's report that said the National Harbor might be a worthy site, but I'm not ecstatic about that because of no Metro access. I definitely want Metro access if a new stadium does get built. |

Re: Are the Redskins becoming more of a Virginia based team?
Better question is if you live in Pocatello, who do you root for?

Making the assumption that all MD people are Ravens fan is pretty idiotic IMO. The team wouldn't be stupid enough to lose a fan base in DC and MD by moving the team to VA. The team and its facilities are always going to be somewhere in the DC area, accesible to fans from all three areas. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk 2

Re: Are the Redskins becoming more of a Virginia based team?
KERRAKPO9198 is either trolling us all, a Virginia politician, or in charge of the "plan" to bring the Redskins to VA.
and please don't make a foolish suggestion like renaming the Washington Redskins, the Virginia Redskins. Matty, keep this one just for the lulz

Re: Are the Redskins becoming more of a Virginia based team?
Troll??
Come on, most of Mongomery County is redskins fans. I live a mile from the border(bethesda), when people ask me where I live I say DC. If the skins wanted to move near me, I'd say no thanks. I've got enough traffic already.
