Report: Redskins to unveil drawings of new stadium, location TBD | CSN Mid-Atlantic (http://www.csnmidatlantic.com/redskinsblog/report-redskins-unveil-drawings-new-stadium-location-tbd)
This will be huge if it's true. Can't wait to see what the design looks like, but hopefully it's not so expensive it will price average joe's like me out of the equation (not that I've ever been able to afford season tickets anyways).

Why do I have this feeling they are going back into DC?

I thought DC didn't want them back unless they changed the name? I don't see the Skins going back unless DC softens on that stance.

Money talks, and with the team being successful now, it will be hard for the District to miss out. Plus, I think the issue has somewhat died down IMO.

I recall the discussion being that Virginia was very open to having the team. Like mooby, I don't think DC will be receptive to the extent they have the ability to stop it. I think it's likely going to be a NoVA venue.

So is Maryland. I think Snyder wants to be in DC though.

No matter where they go I can see a name change heavily baked into this.

There is no place to put a stadium in Virginia. The location in Crystal City is gone as they've build numerous homes, condos and houses in that area. Not to mention there's a shopping center there too. It's a traffic nightmare. This is where Cooke originally wanted to go, Potomac Yard area.
Also don't really see any area in MD either. Someone mentioned a while ago an empty farm in Oxon Hill. That's no where near a metro and it would be off the beltway. Just don't see that working.
Only place is DC where RFK is. It would be the perfect place to put the new stadium. And maybe the only place where there is any room left where there's a metro.

I want to know who would pay for it. These deals tend to screw whatever city or area they end up being in.
