Stadium Central

An article in the Washington Post suggests that the Washington Redskins may be interested in building a new stadium at the site of RFK Stadium. With the Washington Nationals moving to a new stadium scheduled to open at the start of the 2008 season and DC United eyeing a new stadium at Poplar Point in the city, are the Redskins ready to abandon their 10 year old stadium in suburban Maryland for a spot in the city. Financing is a major hurdle, and the story suggests that the city would fork over rights to the Redskins for development around the park instead of providing financing support to the team. With hopes that the soccer stadium will be ready by 2009, one could imagine that construction on the new football stadium could start in 2008. Stay tuned.
