Redskins could come home to RFK

[Bill B]

Why would Synder want to move back in the city near a Metro stop and lose all the parking revenue he is making a Fed Ex? Unless there is some way Synder can be promised money for the lost revenues from people taking the metro and not paying the $25+ parking fee, I don't see any owner wanting to move a stadium near a metro facility.

Just ask yourself - if you were the owner making a ton of cash off parking revenue because the stadium is not accessible by public transportation (talking about a rail not bus) would you want to move your team to a stadium where everyone can take the metro and not have to pay parking fees?

I love RFK - don't get me wrong, but football is a business and last I heard Metro never paid a dime to Jack Kent Cooke for all the revenue he missed out by playing at metro accessible RFK.

Good point, but I think having the SuperBowl in DC might make up for that.
