It was great. the gist of it was: they don’t get the small things right. They don’t get anything right. building a stadium is the single biggest task a team of any sport undertakes. It’s a massive project. Nothing else will be bigger it matter more than planning a new stadium and this group is going to do it? they’re going to screw this up so bad…. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not rejecting the idea of the RFK site. That's where the stadium should go. It just ain't happening in 2027. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrshadow008 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I think you can count dc out at the moment. I know a lot of our fans don’t want tax payer dollars used but if you don’t wanna get priced out of tickets by avoiding psls having it taxpayer funded is your best bet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like this. But seriously we’re walking around. These picture are from DC Jail. There are lots of mixed use development sites already going up. To the right is the old dc general.

I'm still predicting DC's bluff will be called and they will bend as well, but it's clear Virginia governments line on tax payer funding for the stadium is in a different place then DCs. Up until this point, it's been DC council and residents calling for this, not the Mayor herself, that's new news, and bad news also for a stadium in DC. Snyder is a coward, as much as I'd love him to offer to pay for the whole thing so he can get the RFK site, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for him to do it.

Now maybe Congress sells the land to dc. But I highly doubt they do that if they know what dc is going to use it for. As of right now that’s federally owned land that dc leases. That lease runs out in 2037 I believe. That being said Congress even if they extend the lease they will not allow gambling to be done on the land.

What if the NFL helps out Snyder with the financing. I think the league has a separate budget set aside to help pay for stadium construction. I know the league would love for the new stadium to be in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming this bit with Bowser's statement was coordinated in advance. Snyder will try to play jurisdictions off of each other, but I'm sure a DC deal is the end goal. Personally, I view the statement as more of a threat of moving. The lease is up in 2027, and Snyder will go where the cash is. I don’t have confidence we will be a winning team and do enough to get either MD/DC/VA on the side to publicly fund a stadium, so I imagine he puts out feelers to move and decide between that, or tearing down Fed Ex and rebuilding.

Redskins 2021 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I am not sure Synder will be the owner when it's time for the stadium. If it changes ownership the stadium would be put in DC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
