[quote=Anonymous]I was involved in the DC United/Poplar Point plan. There were so many issues - the arsenic throughout the site from the greenhouses (estimated at $50 million to clean up in 2006). The main sewage pipe to Blue Plains that would have to be relocated ($100 million in 2006, although this work will need to be done sometime anyway). The highway ramp and access needed...there are a bunch of reasons including community sentiment that moved us away from this as a viable location for a 20,000 seat soccer stadium, much less a 60,000 seat football stadium. RFK was and remains the better site. Congress needs to sign off and would never do it for soccer but for red meat football there are always the votes, especially if they get their House and Senate boxes. And the right people get the pork in their districts. Everyone knows who needs to get paid, and now with Harris taking over they will get their $$ and the RFK plan will move forward.[/quote]
