Richmond Redskins?

Interesting. Been hearing a lot about the Redskins looking to move their operations further south into Virginia (though personally I'd prefer Bowie)

Richmond, VA the New Redskins Training Camp Spot? - Hogs Haven

Living as far away as I do this small of a move makes it a million times easier for me to make the trip. For my own selfish reasons I would love to see this.

Re: Richmond Redskins?

This would be amazing!

But i didnt think City Stadium was for sale? Maybe a temporary lease type deal? Also fyi City Stadium is a dump in a crappy surrounding neighborhood (not as bad as Landover though). But its right next to Cary Town (extreme poor man's George Town), walking distance to the Museum District and The Fan (where bars & restaurants are), but best of all very easy and immediate access to the highways.

They typically like some isolation but not too remote, at least it seems that way from previous camps. That area isn't that bad, has a little isolation & Cary Town & the fan as you mentioned, have a lot going for them.

I would be there every day. They played Richmond Kickers games there. Now I think it is just high school football games and other special events.

Re: Richmond Redskins?

I live in Jersey so this doesn’t really affect me however, I hate this idea. You need to keep the headquarters as close as you can to the stadium. What next a Stadium in Richmond also. This would kill the Redskins MD and DC fan base.

Man F Virginia. Nothing against those of you that live there but seriously, F going deeper into VA. Bowie is where you gotta go. It's our turn to have the team close.

If they decide to move I'm sure they would have NO problem building another bubble.

Tell 'em to come to Woodbridge. There's plenty of open land right in the middle of the county between Woodbridge and Manassas. They can build their new practice facility there too. It'll be perfect.
