Yes Snyder owns FedEx.

it'd be nice, but i hope he's paying for it and not tax payers. the roof is retractable, but you need a dome for superbowls in cold weather :/.

hopefully he doesn't have all the lounges (open DURING games) and other craptacular issues that have been created in FedEx.

I think we can safely assume it would cost north of $400 mil to build a stadium in DC. It is costing more than that to build what I would assume is a smaller baseball stadium so $500 isn't out of the question at all. He'd have to unload FedEx which could be hard since it would become largely worthless without Skins and another huge stadium on the way.Nah, I hear there is a HUGE demand right now for 90,000+ seat stadiums. Snyder could put an ad in the paper, hold an open house, he'll have it sold by lunchtime!!!

How old is FedEx? The jets wanted a stadium on the West Side of Manhattan that never happened. I am unfamiliar with the local politics of DC, but I can't imagine this would be an easy thing to get done.

Local politics of D.C. You mean the town that voted Barry to be Mayor after he served time for smoking crack on T.V.?

Let me tell you all that you need to know. The D.C. city council makes a deal with MLB and says, "We will build you a stadium!" So the team comes here. The council says, "Oh, that is way too expensive. MLB must pay more!" So this goes back and forth for months. Well, all of a sudden, hurricane Katrina comes along and demolishes a city or two. Well that didn't exactly help the prices for building supplies. The council and MLB strike a deal and the council toots their own horn about how they took on Baseball and won. What they neglected to address was they actually ended up paying more than the original amount because they didn't lock in the contract before all of the materials went through the roof.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you a snapshot into the "local politics" of D.C.

It would be funny to watch them in the middle another fiascoe, though.

21 is right, the DC council is what drove cooke to landover in the first place (and he was willing to pay the ENTIRE cost of the damn thing).

Good points. I'll tell you what though if Barry had still been mayor when the deal went down there'd be a stadium in DC. He was at all the games, had a great relationship with JKC but Sharon Pratt Kelly Dixon screwed that up when she took the mayorship

F--king broads. Should have never given them the right to vote. They f--k up everything!

To me that would be a great move. RFK II, niiiiiiiice!

Yeah, except it would be called the Wal-Mart Dome
