from the time of crossing American Legion bridge to springfield, how long do you think it would be drive wise?
2. my girlfriend apparently was doing 86 in a 70, and she was told everything over 80 is reckless. she had to hire a local attorney ($250), pay a fine and court costs of close to $300, driving school was $60 for a day seminar.

Depends on traffic, during rush hour that could be 1-1.5hr. Not gonna sugarcoat it, the springfield interchange sees 250k vehicles a day according to VDOT. Metro would def. soak up a lot of people who don't want to deal with the traffic. Danny would be wise to do what the Nats did and create something similar to the bullpen next to it where people can pregame all day. Of course the consumer would get ripped off because you're paying ballpark prices for pregame beers. Should be right up Danny's alley though. My beef with the GSA space is it seems small once you factor in parking/etc. A lot of people would lose out on tailgating at the car if Danny built parking garages.
Also duh, there's literally a sign everywhere coming into VA stating anything over 80 is reckless. My one reckless ticket (got it when I was 19, doing 90/60) just came off my record a year ago. I had to pay $480, judge didn't cut me any breaks, lesson learned. Nowadays I don't do anything faster than 80, even then my sweet spot is right at or above 75. You're playing with fire if you choose to go above 80 on any interstate highway in VA.
