I've never seen anyone consider building a new stadium so soon. Besides I hope we don't get get the retractable roof. Redskin football is meant to played outside in brutal rainy weather, not a perfect air conditioned enviornmnet.
I really wish though that people would take a look at the soccer stadiums throughout Europe. A lot of them are beautiful, not to mention creative. New Wembley, the place where the Giants and Dolphins played, is a great example of an indoor stadium done right. Protect the fans but leave the field exposed to the elements. Also did anyone know that Dan Synder is trying to buy the Tottenham Hotspurs?

Are you sure the Mob didn't get to them.....LOL
I'll have to watch for that episode.
I looked up the next two months, and sorry man, it's not coming on any time soon.
here is the episode from the website:
Episode 13: Buried in Concrete, Daddy—Longlegs, Jet Taxi
Jamie and Adam make a brave attempt to solve a legendary mafia mystery by searching for the decomposed body of Jimmy Hoffa, allegedly buried in the concrete under Giants Stadium. Will they meet the same fate as Geraldo Rivera at the tomb of Al Capone? The mythbusters then fire up a jet engine and find out if the power and force of a 737 could launch a taxicab 75 feet in the air. Finally, will Adam's arachnophobia prevent him from finding out if the daddy—longlegs is the most venomous spider? Brave indeed.

This means we now have the oldest stadium in the NFC East. Wonder how long Snyder will be able to stomach that?
........and will for at least 10 more years .The deal with Prince George's county becuase of improvements made to the roads and the beltway(495) and around the stadium is binding and with what it would cost to buy it out...no and lets not forget the matter of the stadium must be sold off to a new team before the Skins can leave.Yup Cook got a hell of a deal but he also locke that team where it is for at least 10 more years.
The cost would be so enormous to leave and add on the cost of another new stadium with Snyder's business holdings not doing well right now....it just won't happen.

Actual there had been some talk that the stadium could be turned into a mall. Then the Redskins could move back to DC but, does it matter and do I care? NAH, just more money for Danny Boy.

Since the talk about stadiums I was curious if anyone knows why we have one of the crappiest Video Screens and Sound Systems in the NFL. I am really surprised that Danny-Boy hasn’t made an upgrade to them. If any of you have been to a Ravens game in Baltimore you know what I am comparing ours too. My father and I have season tickets to the skins and my company has Ravens tickets in which I have to take clients too and the in game experience with better equipment is amazing.
I have been to a few other NFL venues all of which have much better in game experiences with better equipment. Don’t get me wrong I love going to root on my Skins at home, but wish with all the money us loyal fans spend we could use a makeover here. Let me know what you think.

They just tore down the Landover Mall and built the New Outdoor Mall across the street where the cap center use to be.
