My conclusion is that if the stadium is going to be in Springfield, the best bet is the site of the current GSA warehouse just south of Springfield Mall. Definitely not far down 95, and within walking distance of Franconia-Springfield metro. It's right off the Beltway in the same way Fedex is.
Secondly, you know I agree with you on plenty, including how much cops and troopers love to write tickets around here (I just passed a speed trap at 4:45 this morning on Route 1, luckily he sits in the same spot every time so I know better than to speed there). But you do not get a ticket for reckless for going 16 over. My last ticket (admittedly in 2010) was for going 56 in a 35, and the Fairfax County officer told me he could charge me for reckless since it was 20 over but since it was next to Five Guys HQ in Lorton (not a developed area) he just charged me for ordinary speeding. I still speed every day but I've been able to avoid speeding tickets for 10 years now by just going with the flow of traffic. If they're doing 70-80, so am I. Doing 60, so am I.

Bold move Cotton! J/K. I don't drive very fast on freeways anymore even if I'm on the road by myself. I don't care about driving fast nowadays, I just care about moving down the line. But on residential, if a light is red for no reason, I go through that 60% of the time, every time. There is a new complex by my work that is on my way home from work (similar but slightly different route to work), that literally every single signal is broken. I mean like, if I'm going straight, from the opposite side, the left hand turn light will turn green when no one is going left, while I sit there with my thumb up my ass. That took me around twice to treat that intersection as a suggestion. Eventually I'm gonna get a $500 dollar ticket for going through that light, even though its 100% justified.
