I have been following the fight between DC and Virginia to host Commanders new stadium.
The District won. New stadium to be built on RFK footprint, which is larger than most people think.
But, DC was tenacious in keeping the team in the city. My wife’s family — Redskins season ticket holders at RFK for four decades — are happy.
The current venue has been a disaster from the jump. Horrible venue. Never made sense.
In fairness, Virginia’s plan to build stadium along Potomac was impressive.

Interesting. Is there a reason the City of Chicago isn’t fighting to keep the Bears in the city?
