Rick Snider was on The Sports Junkies this morning and said the same thing. He thinks a new stadium near the current FedEx location is still the most likely location.

Idk about you but I love a good picture-esque view of I-95 as opposed to National Harbor or some shit. Count me in Danny.

LOL, look I agree you guys deserve a nice place and updated place to play and learn from MetLife don't screw it up. My complaint is the traffic nightmare being so close to Potomac Mills, Occaquain and Fredricksburg. SIL was stationed at Quantico twice .............just no, not a good place!

New plans have been drawn up for a site in Loudoun County with Silver Line access - looks good to me. Gotta be honest - the stadium design seems underwhelming though. A little too retro.

LOL, the property doesn't exist for those plains ,just not feasible. I worked down the road at the Old Giant warehouse facility for 18 years before they moved to the new place in Jessup and I can tell you that there is no room for those plans, a New Stadium yes sure absolutely but all that other stuff ,no.

Can I add that Maryland is not a right to work state like Virginia is, this also might have Union implications involved. JMO.

Re: The stadium thread 2: New stadium boogaloo
 

All of these ideas are horrible. The site where the defunct RFK Stadium stands is perfect in every way for a new stadium. A reasonable owner would just kiss and make up with the Mayor and the City Council and make it happen. Having a new stadium in the right location plus a good product on the field could rejuvenate the fan base.

A new stadium in Prince William County, VA would in effect cede Southern Maryland and Prince Georges, Anne Arundel, and Montgomery Counties, not to mention D.C. itself, to the Ravens.

Re: The stadium thread 2: New stadium boogaloo
 

We are talking about 5 years from now. I just don't care. I may be dead by then. Ron won't be the coach. Hardly any of the players that are here now won't be here by then. Dan may not even be the owner.

Its not the Mayor and City Council who can make RFK happen, its Congress. Its unlikely Congress does business with a person who they are currently investigating.

DC owns RFK Stadium but the land is owned by the Federal Govt and leased to DC only for the use of RFK stadium.

Congress does have authority over DC affairs. They review all legislation before it becomes law and can modify or overturn that legislation.

My mistake. That does complicate things for a stadium in D.C., then. Nevertheless, I still believe the site itself has many advantages as the location for a new Commanders stadium. [Insert anti-Snyder rant here].

I think smaller stadiums may be the norm in the future, unless you're a team like Dallas with a huge brand.

The big downside is a 55,000 seat stadium would be too small to host a Super Bowl, unless it was expandable.

Re: The stadium thread 2: New stadium boogaloo
 

U know….fuck Maryland and fuck Va…get whatever needs to be done to go back to DC.

DC government, federal government and Snyder…the 3 Amigos of Toxicity…host a toxic summit to build the stadium there. All three are the Jedi masters of corruption, so do some back room dealings, payoff whomever…and just get this done.

Enough of Maryland and Va…even if this takes a couple years to work out federal land, zoning, etc…just get it straight.

As long as it's decent and comfortable. Seats normal people can sit in without hitting their knees on the seat in front. Learn from what they did in Atlanta and make the concessions affordable. One more thing no fucking "personnel seat Licenses"! Make the damn thing family friendly.
MetLife sucks but there are wide concourse's and plenty of bathrooms!

I agree it should be in DC but your boy Danny wants to have Betting in the Stadium and that won't be allowed in DC.

Re: The stadium thread 2: New stadium boogaloo
 

Disagreement between Bowser and Mendelson over how to acquire and develop RFK Stadium has for months prevented Norton from introducing legislation that would enable them to do so.

With DC out, VA looking like they are out, and MD barely in but not for funding a stadium, I wouldn't be surprised if Snyder starts making noise about moving the team to another city.
