    There's a reason why exurban football stadiums aren't on the agenda anywhere else, and leave it to dummy Dan to end up with one for his zombie franchise.

     

     

    It never worked when they'd build a stadium surrounded by a massive parking lot and nothing else, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.  The proposed development surrounding the stadium seems to be right up Loudoun County's alley.

    Anacostia Park would be the perfect place for it!!!  They are rebuilding the South Capital Street Bridge and it would look fantastic if on the other side of National Park you had the new stadium.  You will have metro already in place on both sides of the River and they are building that area up quite nicely.  I grew up directly across the street from Nats Park when it was a Metro Bus Depot Lot.  It was one of the worst neighborhoods in DC and to see this rebuild is amazing.  

     

    I have a feeling like whatever planned mixed use development they want to build would suffer being cornered into that little space between the highway and the river.  You can build housing and apartments, but only so much.  It's probably why it's not discussed more.

    I think he was just referring to the fact that all 4 of those guys were on our staffs at one point.

    All 4 were argued by many to be bright new up and comers who we should try to retain. 

    All 4 left and are now head coaches, 3 with great success already and one yet to be determined. 

     

    I get that, but O'Connell is still the odd man out in that list.  He wasn't on those coaching staffs.  Mike McDaniel was, and if anything it makes the situation even worse.

  4. I understand not wanting public funds to be used to build the stadium, or not wanting it in Virginia, but if we can assume it's an inevitability....holy **** Prince William County, you are really messing things up by trying to stick your nose in this.  The CIT site next to Dulles isn't in DC, but really isn't that bad.  But that PWC site is too, too far away.  Just go away and let Loudoun have this one, guys.

    If the city is now prepared to let them build a complex back at RFK it’s a no brainer…you go back to the hallowed ground of RFK.  For me, there is no better place for them to be.

     

    If not there National Harbor is the obvious next best.    

     

    I don't see why anyone would work with Dan after today.  I also don't see them building a stadium where there's no public transportation.

    It wont be in DC. Itll be in NoVA.

     

    Loudoun County builds those giant, town center like multi use developments left and right.  If Patriot Place or Hollywood Park is any kind of model for what Danny wants to do, I can't think of a better place to put it.

    I expect a cheap imitation of Jerral Waynes Death Star. 😞

    That place is already a little outmoded, as far as stadiums go. The ten years post Jerry World's completion produced some real game changers. I would expect something more similar to SoFi, Allegiant, Tottenham, etc.

    270 is awful in the morning and evening. It is fine from 10am-4pm….

    putting the stadium In Loudon would be like building in Frederick maryland and putting it in Prince William would be like putting it in Hagerstown maryland.

    Loudoun County,, specifically Dulles, is in no way analogous to Frederick.  Not by distance, not by population density, not by culture.  Zero ways.

    Just look at the population density.

    Frederick is almost 50 miles 

     

    Leesburg is 40 miles to DC , Frederick is 50 miles. Travel time is pretty equal. my guess is The stadium will be out near Leesburg not Woodbridge.

    currently the travel time from Hagerstown to DC is about 1 hour 10 mins and from haymarket to dc of 1 hour 5 mins.

     

     

     

     

     

    I was wondering how large that area was.

     

     

    There's no evidence that says they're building in Leesburg.  Like, why even entertain that idea?

     

    The Loudoun Gateway site is 28 miles to DC. The numbers you're throwing out there are irrelevant. Y'all really don't seem to know anything about Virginia.

    The Dems have facists in their ranks. You have 2 out in the open; Joe and Kirsten.

    They support the facist party and are doing everything to make sure the facists can obstruct; in their to take the country over.

    Have you considered the idea that a better, good faith effort to explain how you feel *might* lead to people actually taking you seriously? 

     

    Acting like we're stupid isn't going to do you any good. Clearly you're not an effective communicator, as you seem to split hairs any time your argument hits a wall. What's your goal, brodie?

    He made the vaccine free and readily available even setting up FEMA sites to get folks vaccinated. How is it Bidens fault roughly 30% of the country refuse to get vaccinated? Because he's a Democrat and they disagree with him politically?

     

    Honestly anyone would struggle with this. It's an impossible situation to be in. 

     

    This is such an obviously true statement, I cannot see how anyone can disagree with it in good faith. Biden has his issues but he can't control minds.

    Anything to back up your claim that “when in reality it's just two or three people talking about it”?  Because there are at least writers, editors, etc.  And I’m replying to your comment of “cite sources”, which I did.

     

    Whatever, I’m done with this tangent.  I don’t think it will actually happen so it doesn’t matter.

    It's important to actually read the sources you cite. You'll find your answer there.

     

    I asked for cited sources to prove a point. Our standards should be higher than to assume something is reality when there's actually a very small number of people saying it. It's a problem that plagues this country.

    Okay….You said “cite sources” and I did.  What is your point here?

     

    Because my statement was in response to the idea that "the talk is Hilary will run", when in reality it's just two or three people talking about it, and a BUNCH of sources reporting that two or three people were talking about it.  Perhaps read my OP comment?

     

    "The talk is Hilary" just isn't factual. It's three people saying it. That's hardly enough evidence to say something is true, and that's the point I'm making.
