That doesn't seem to coincide with the money he put into upgrading the jumbotrons, installing party decks, etc...
The field is just used a lot more than other football fields around the league, and I'm sure Snyder now sees that because of the wear and tear, it's just not going to hold up to that much use all year long.
But, I hope he does strongly consider building in VA (even though I'm now a NC resident) because it would be a bit easier for me and a bit closer for me to get to games in NoVa as opposed to MD.
The party decks were more about removing seats than upgrading the stadium.
I guess I dont think the field is used more than others. College teams play there maybe once a year and there's only an occasional soccer game and/or concert. Bottom line is the field isnt used that much.
From what I have been hearing he really wants the team back in DC but once again DC city council is screwing it up.

With this mayor insisting on a name change, I doubt Snyder's going to move the team back to D.C. unless the council caves, which I feel would happen before Snyder caved into the demands to change the name.

He will lose. DC would make too much money for them not to allow the team to move there.

I've seen games in DC where there were large puddles on the field and players were hydroplaning on the water. This is nothing.
Hogs root in the mud....thats football.

My vote goes in the FU box as well.....

Its amazing that DC is poised once again to mess this up. I have said often that its only a matter of time before the name is changed but DS will change it when he wants not because of some demand or recommendation from the Mayor.
Hard to imagine the name change thing ever happening. Just not enough public outcry to force Snyder's hand for one... i.e nobody really cares. Second, countless court battles have been found in the team's favor.
Not happening.

I tent to believe your right with the name. No one actually cared. This is the second or third highest valued team, I doubt the NFL would really even consider such a change to one of the games most iconic teams.

I think people do care because I hear them talk about it and they think it should be changed.
I dont see the name being changed by force but it will be changed by the organization when they decide the time is right. That time might be in 1 year or it might be in 10 years but the time will come. Kind of like Augusta National and female members.

Looking at the field in Denver it clearly is a victim of a full seasons use but they sure have made it look pretty decent for this game. A little envious. Maybe the FedEx grounds crew is to blame.
