Crazy Thought: Could you put a Football Stadium where the FBI Building is?

[Anonymous]

With the whole controversy about moving the Caps and Wizards to Virginia, it got me thinking about stadiums in the city.
Is the FBI property big enough for a football stadium?
The crazy thought is that location is central to the whole metro system. And it would bring a ton of people downtown on Sunday along with other events there. It would be better for the city than the RFK location.
Okay it would stink for tailgating, but great in terms of public transportation.
Fire away.
Tell me the positives vs negatives of this idea.

And Why is it a terrible idea?
If you took the current RFK stadium, you could fit it in the current FBI locaiton

As long as attendance stays about the same it should fit.

No, because you need parking lots. And because it would only be used like 10 days a year so it's not the best use of the land.

You absolutely don't need parking lots there.
They have 3 metro stops nearby

Metro Center (Orange blue Silver and Red Line)
Federal Triangle (Orange blue Silver)
Penn Quarter Metro (Green and Yellow)

That serves the whole DC region by Metro

A much better use would be a dog park.

You could. But should you? No. Each NFL team plays 17 regular-season games per year. That's 17 days out of 365 days in a year.

I know where the metros are. I agree that it would be great to have more people take metro to NFL games. I also know that the NFL itself, and the team owners, do not want to locate somewhere that metro is the only option.

Put the stadium on the national mall. It is America’s national sport and would be iconic.
