DC United hasn't quite moved to Poplar Point just yet...they are talking 2010 at the earliest now, and since talks between MLS and the city have stalled, it might be longer...unless the District is looking to build another facility at a record pace...but, after United move to Poplar Point, RFK will be torn down, so the city can then spend even more taxpayer money building Snyder his new stadium (strictly rumor of course).

Speaking of Zim and his blast, I had the game on while perusing for holes in my eyelids...with my eyes closed and my wife reading, as soon as I heard the crack of the bat, I told her (with my eyes closed) "Home Run, Game Over".

It was nice to see the new ballpark on TV...but I doubt I'll be making my way down there until they either provide more parking around the stadium. Metro is a crapshoot, and with shuttles running from RFK, that's a further drive than the stadium from where I live. Besides, I can trek to Baltimore and be in a seat at Camden Yards within a hour to see a crappy ball team play, or I can drive 2 minutes to watch future MLBers play right here in Frederick.
