[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's absolutely true that a government-financed stadium would lead to more development and economic activity. However, spending the money in almost any possible imaginable way would result in way more development and economic activity.[/quote]

Well yes, but if it's just a stadium used 12 times a year that is different than a stadium also used for concerts, that has mixed use, etc. Though to what extent mixed use can be placed there when it's a flood plane? Not sure.

Having lived nearby, not sure that stadium concerts are a great thing; generally concert events at RFK are pretty loud to the point of headache inducing.[/quote]

The city already has Nationals Park and CapitalOne Arena,  both of which host plenty of large concerts. The number of acts that can pull a crowd of 100k and for whom those two venues are too small are absolutely tiny - a couple of concerts a year and probably not much more. The main use for the stadium will always be NFL and the number of games in a season just aren't enough to justify the massive investment of cash and land. [/quote]

Where in DC do you live?? Have you reviewed the projected revenue is for the Commanders over the next ten years. Esp when the gambling deals are finalized?? are you kidding me? LOL, you are really questioning whether a top 5 profitable NFL team justifies a stadium. OMG. Look at the projections for 2030. additionally The current stadium is the worst in the league and the owner and team are paying a substantial portion, some citys are so thankful they pay all. Incredible
