There isn't many WAS fans anywhere anymore

Sad but true.

Why can't they just go back to DC?

There aren't many sites in DC that can handle a stadium and the most obvious site is the old RFK site but that's on Federal land that would require Congressional approval. With them investigating DS it seems unlikely they'd approve anything for this organization.

Change in ownership would make DC a possible. Especially, if the Amazon guy buys it.

DC politicians fucked that up big time. The folks who run that city are bullshit

If Dan Snyder hadn't been running a shitty product for two decades. He lost the battle for the northern suburbs and that is on him not the politicians of DC. If you live in Bethesda are you driving the 20 miles to Fed Ex or the 36 to M&T? Annapolis? Fredneck? I am not going to invest public dollars into infrastructure that won't return value if I am a politician, political games aside.

Small stadium would be a good thing.. They don't need 40K eagles fans there anymore

I think smaller stadiums may be the norm in the future, unless you're a team like Dallas with a huge brand.

The big downside is a 55,000 seat stadium would be too small to host a Super Bowl, unless it was expandable.

As long as it's decent and comfortable. Seats normal people can sit in without hitting their knees on the seat in front. Learn from what they did in Atlanta and make the concessions affordable. One more thing no fucking "personnel seat Licenses"! Make the damn thing family friendly.
MetLife sucks but there are wide concourse's and plenty of bathrooms!

I've been to the Titans stadium a few times and it's max capacity is like 68k, it doesn't seem small when you're there and has a cool vibe to it. I think the days of who has the biggest stadiums are over. Build one that you have the chance to fill to capacity every week...and that will probably still be a challenge for them if Dan is still here.

If the goal is to have only Commanders fans there, might need to knock maximum capacity down to about 1238.

Just change the name to the Commanders of Prince William. The team has nothing to do w/ Washington DC.
