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.

Hmm I sense sarcasm. Are you insinuating billboards advertising Love's and Stuckey's off exit 104 are not your idea of scenery?

In the future we won't need cars, they're working on teleportation.

Are you kidding me? I love those billboards, 2 small Gatorades for $3 is a steal at any store!

Here's new plans for a potential Landover site next to Fedex. Definitely a long way to go before any final decisions are made.

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.

Where else can you get a pecan log roll, smoked ham, pinata, and soft serve ice cream all for under $20?

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.

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.

Jeez, that would sure break my emotional bond to the team...
