It's inevitable that the Danny will build a new mega stadium with a retractable roof at some point in the future.

DC is a skins town. The Wiz have made the playoffs 4 yrs in a row, so they're not bad.

The Nationals just need to put a good product on the field...decent product on the field. I went to a Nats game this year and enjoyed it. It's a good area, close to the metro, hotels and it looks like there's alot of development in that specific area. They just need to start winning some games. They need to be on a 4-5 year plan.

The Lerners will start to open their wallets here soon. Stan Kasten is no dummy when it comes to building franchises, and that stadium will be full once they turn it around.

As far as the city is concerned, I really don't see them forking over money to help build the stadium...providing the land is one thing, but it won't be Nationals Park Part Deux.

I think a big difference from the Nationals vs the Redskins is that DC had no baseball team before so it needed a much greater corrdinated effort to get a team here. You have to have city and initial tax payer support to get a new team.

Moving team back from a few miles away is different. Its more that the Redskins are allready making money could they make more via a new city stadium. Plus a owner that wants them back where they belong is good. And the city would greatly benefit.

Snyder inherited FedEx, and not too put it down since I love it, but it isin't really that hot fire... And, Snyder is going to own this team for a long time, and he wants to make his own stadium, that is bigger and badder then the new Dallas stadium, as well as the ability to host a Super Bowl. End of discussion!

Just thinking. We have a lease?? Who are we leasing the fed ex from? I thought Cooke built it and and Snyder bought it with the team.

Agreed but not for at least another 10 years.That's how long they have left on the agrement with P.G county( I thought it was a 20 or 25 year deal).With all the moneyPG has spent with infrastucture..the beltway,Metro,and other upgrades....nope not for awhile.
Remember he only bought Fed Ex ...he did'nt build it ,by the time he can build in DC it will cost almost 2 Billion...hell the Giants new place is about 1.75......nope no time soon.
