It doesn't. And the neighborhood would never go for a complex like that.

It could, IF they also captured the land from the DC armory. It is essentially a multi-use complex today for car shows, gun shows etc. That could be incorporated to a totally new stadium complex. It could rival what they have done with the Nationals Park area.

It is used for car shows and things like that but it is a military facility and I doubt the DC National Guard/US Govt is going to give up any of that land.
