[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like Ted might’ve been better off to locate his stadium complex on the OR/SV line, maybe in the same place in Tyson’s where they are proposing that casino complex.  Virginia season ticker holders could park at the Herndon, Reston, Vienna, East Falls Church, and West Falls Church metro stops, and Maryland season ticket holders could drive in across the American Legion Bridge, which is a mess now but will improve with the VA 495 expansion and the bridge rebuild/expansion.  That would put the stadium 15-20 minutes away from the most affluent parts of Virginia and Maryland, and a 15-18 minute metro ride from much of DC after the planned speed increases (59mph to 65mph and 75mph) are implemented on the OR/SV lines (https://wjla.com/news/local/metro-dmv-transportation-board-of-directors-leaders-discuss-plans-to-increase-train-speeds-in-some-areas-of-dc-maryland-virginia-public-transport-community).[/quote]

Being close to a broad spectrum of fans who can afford season tickets makes sense to this fan.  PY is not one of those areas, whether for fans in DC, nearby Md burbs, or Mclean/Great Falls.  Capital One Arena is one of those areas.[/quote]

This. The whole plan is idiotic and if he goes through with it (which it seems he is determined to do), it's just going to hurt both teams, Alexandria, AND DC. He is an idiot.

The problem is that he is an idiot with a crap ton of money so there are not enough checks on his idiocy.[/quote]
