Report: Redskins to unveil drawings of new stadium, location tbd

The new stadium is going to be in Va unless the mood changes in he next 5-7 years. The state made a huge push to get training camp and even kicked money in from the state General fund.

DC will want it but the cost is going to be prohibitive unless Danny can finagle a deal to sell FedEx for a mint and just pay for the the land and building himself. Also DC is not likely to sell the RFK site to him I wouldn't think. That's really the only viable site in DC proper.

Maryland seems out of it. No decent options with proper metro access and they don't seem terribly keen, at least publicly. They have the luxury of already having a team in state so losing one wouldn't be catastrophic.

Of course all of this is the situation now. It could all change in just a few years so we'll see.

Va seems to make sense, since training camp and the training facility is in Va. But again, it comes down to location. Just can't really think of anywhere in Va that would make sense, or anywhere where there is enough land and is near public transportation.

What colleges? Maryland has their own place as does Navy. My thought is Dan has to figure some way of getting some cash out of it becuase that is a big piece of the value of this team .I doubt he can build a new one without selling the old one unless he builds a new one where Fed Ex is now,it already has the infrastructure.

It will probably just sit there and rot. Maybe a few college games will be played there but that's it.

Va Tech and Notre Dame I think played there a few years ago. Maybe a bowl game as well.

I would be curious to see if Maryland would take it over. They have to be drawing bigger crowds being in the Big 10 with bigger schools than the ACC (other than FSU most of the schools are medium to smaller in size). There is no way they fill it to capacity but Byrd stadium is crap too.

they've done a few college games there, a couple got 80k people out if i remember correctly. it wouldn't be a single college's normal venue, it'd be for special events and bowl games.

I don't know a ton about how these things work, but if the hired an architect and have drawings that means they have a site already right? Usually you fit the design to whatever site you have. If the have a site worked out and it hasn't been leaked that in itself is impressive.

I think your link got cut off but I found it on their site. Good read, it has me excited thinking about the possibilities. We all know Dan would love to make another stadium that is unique for us.

Thanks! Apologies for my terrible cut/paste :)

getting plans done doesn't mean there's a site already. danny can tell them everything he wants it to have, they can figure out the cost and footprint and use that to find the best site. plans can also be reworked if the site doesn't conform to what they want.

i just hope they pay attention to traffic and transit this time.

Truth. To me that's just as important as how cool the stadium is.
