Are the Redskins becoming more of a Virginia based team?

Question, why does this matter?

Question, why does this matter?

Sort of asked myself the same after posting my previous thread. Just someone wanting to make a splash in their first thread? LOL.

Per Taylor36 over at EXTREMESKINS from this thread... Where do you thin the skins new stadium will be? (http://www.extremeskins.com/showthread.php?379623-Where-do-you-thin-the-skins-new-stadium-will-be)


They already are. My brother-in-law, who works for Jim Cheng, the Secretary of Commerce for the Commonwealth, told me around Christmas that Virginia has already put together a delegation to work with Snyder and his top brass to get them to build their stadium within the borders of the Virginia (the exact location is still one factor being negotiated). Supposedly, a lot of ground work has been laid already, and verbally behind closed doors, most of a deal has already been done. I guess there are a few factors/issues that need to be ironed out (like location) before stuff starts to move towards paper, and he said some of that will not be cleared up until after November 5 of this year, the date of the VA gubernatorial election. Also, there is a leasing issue that the team has to take care of. But, he said that the thought is a deal could be reach and construction started that may take several years to complete (no need to rush) and could allow for an easy (cheaper) contract breach on the Redskins part.

Question, why does this matter?Could this be backlash from the DC mayor talking about a name change?

Question, why does this matter?

Because Virginia deserves to have a pro sports team playing within its borders.

What do the MD-based posters on extremeskins think of this issue?!?!?!?!

Also, can we PLEASE be allowed to use giant animated signatures?! I think it would really jazz up this boring site. Thanx

I live in Michigan.
Having said that I will now tell you that I like cake and pie and pastrami.

As a loyal Virginian all my life, I would just like to say to Marylanders and DCers, naa naa boo boo, stick your head in doo doo.

Seriously, idc where the stadium is located as long as it's in the general DMV area. Even though I'm sure Snyder would like to get more support out of Richmond/Virginia Beach, I don't see any way in hell a stadium gets built there. I did read Rick Snider's report that said the National Harbor might be a worthy site, but I'm not ecstatic about that because of no Metro access. I definitely want Metro access if a new stadium does get built.

Better question is if you live in Pocatello, who do you root for?
