[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh no. Not in DC. Let some other suckers pay a billionaire for a stadium that gets used 10-20 days a year.[/quote] Agree 100%. DC has no reason to pay for any portion of a football stadium in DC. 10 games a year times 80,000 fans equals 800,000 fans a year. Nats Park and Verizon Center produce twice that number at least. And, no, a new football stadium will not be used 20 times a year. Not happening. No doubt, someone will say what about concerts. BS. Not many concerts draw 80,000 fans. And DC already has Nats Park (40,000), Audi Field (20,000) and Verizon Center (20,000). And even with 20 events a year sold old out, that produces only 1.6 Million a year. Nats Park certainly draws more than that. And Verizon might as well. There is simply no demand for a super large venue in DC. An economic rationale for public money for NFL stadiums does not exist. I of course am super pleased about the Commanders' change in ownership. [/quote]
