[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they should really be at RFK. If I lived near it, I would welcome it. I don't want them where I currently live because there's no space for a stadium here. [/quote]

I live near Hill East and I agree. I’m also looking forward to all the neighborhood busybodies crying about it. [/quote]

I don't live in Hill East but not that far away, and I'd be okay with it if they could do figure out the parking situation. I don't want miles of parking lots. If they can find a way to incentivize public transit to games and also condense parking in underground lots and parking garages, I would accept it. I don't know how that works for tailgating culture.

I am a bit less concerned by the "only 8x a year" argument. It would not be used 8x a year. It would be a stadium concert and events venue as well and if it led to great commercial development around the stadium, all of that could be used year round. Look at how Nats Park gets used in the office season. It's actually fairly productive. And Navy Yard really has become a major destination and very economically successful neighborhood. If the can do the football stadium we'll, why wouldn't that work in Hill East.

I don't want to pay for it though. [/quote]
