More New Stadium Rumors

[FRPLG]

The fiscal aspect of this is mind boggling. What the heck would he do with FedEx? I mean the thing isn't old at all. I don't think a major sport stadium has ever been rendered useless after only like 10 years. I'd love a stadium back in DC but I just don't see how the money works on it. I guess Matty's right though. If anyone can pull it off it would be Danny Boy. I also think the Skins would have an easier time than MLB. This is the Skins we're talking about here.

4 of the next 16 SBs, plus more down the road...i'd say he'd be able to make his money back.

I'm willing to bet the monstrosity would hold 100,000 easily. With no obstructed view seating...

I doubt we'd get 4 of 16 Super Bowls unless Snyder was sleeping with Goodell. And I have no clue how 4 games would make up for a stadium that costs several hundred million dollars.

If he was promised four superbowls, that'd make most of his money back for him, but I don't see it happening otherwise.

I think there is probably a bank or two that would work out a loan for him... If he wants to do it, he will.

I just don't see it happening. The district can't afford a stadium and what is Snyder going to do Fed Ex? Just eat it?

Look, if that's what it takes lets lube Dan up and rent a room.

Oh, and you have no clue.......I have a raging clue after the win yesterday.

You have no clue.......<snigger>

And you're serious huh?? Do you honestly think he would have trouble getting the money for this?

It also helps the Olympics bid for the D.C./Baltimore area.

I see Snyder drooling all over this one...

If it makes money, then Snyder will do it.

That's the question, will it make money?

Anyone got the figures on what FedEx cost to build?

[ArtMonkDrillz]

AS for FedEx, on the radio this morning they implied that it would be torn down and all that land (and there is a ton of it) would be used for office buildings and that sort of thing. I'm sure Sndyer could sell that land off for a ton, or he coudl keep it and just rent it off.

Remember, FedEx was built before Snyder's time, so he probably couldn't care less about it. He has to want something more personal to him because he's got a bigger ego than Matty (barely).

And you'd THINK they might actually want the stadium IN DC.

I think people are overestimating Snyder's "throw money at it" mentality. While I do think he could get the money, no one, especially someone with the business mind that Snyder has, would just sign a 300-500 million dollar check without knowing he could make all of it back in a reasonable amount of time.

that would be cool but fedex is really new for how old it is.

who whos with dan snyder at the helm

I think we can safely assume it would cost north of $400 mil to build a stadium in DC. It is costing more than that to build what I would assume is a smaller baseball stadium so $500 isn't out of the question at all. He'd have to unload FedEx which could be hard since it would become largely worthless without Skins and another huge stadium on the way. So you'd have to assume the stadium would end up going bye-bye and the land subdivided. That would probably bring a pretty penny considering the size. Probably enough to unload his debt on it. He certainly could get the money to build a new stadium though. I would think he'd try for city help but could pull it off on his own.

Seriously.
