This was me, a year and a half ago!  I want the Commanders in DC, I think the RFK location is great, and while I wish they had a new name, the energy and excitement they bring to DC makes it all worthwhile to me and a large number of DC residents.  [/quote]

You are insane. The idea of giving away the RFK property to billionaire Josh Harris just because it would make you feel better to have the football team play in the city is just about the dumbest reasoning possible. The NFL and Harris will certainly demand another behemoth stadium in the face of declining ticket sales and stick DC and neighborhood residents with a giant stadium and parking lots, etc. Fewer people attend NFL games in person than ever before and without drastically reducing ticket prices and the in-person experience, this seems unlikely to change.

I would begrugingly accept a stadium slightly larger than Audi Field, around 40k, but I doubt the team and the NFL would go for it. So I hope a new stadium deal fails. No Commanders at RFK![/quote]
