I don't think that RFK would ever be the name even if they did move the field. Another person mention the traffic at FedEx but that seats like 35,000 more people as would the new stadium so the traffic issues would still be a problem. Unless the old site was that much better but anytime your trying to move 95,000 people traffic will always be an issue.

The reason why RFK is a much easier commute is because the metro is walking distance from the stadium. FedEx has a metro station near the stadium, but its like a mile and a half away from it.
You know the Danny would probably make the stadium the same size, but the design would be more fan friendly (no more obstructed veiws) and with the metro access, that would ease the traffic a little.
