[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As to Metro coverage, if one or two stops on the green line is sufficient for Nats Park and Audi Field, why do people believe that PY would be insufficient to handle crowds. I have not traversed the pedestrian bridge and that is one obvious choke point. Are there others?

As to PY, I recall the National Park Sevice being very protective of the views from the GW Parkway to the point that, from WMATA's view, the station placement is suboptimal. From what I've seen, the proposed stadium would be even more triggering of NPS's design veto. Is my recollection correct here? If so, has there been any questionin of/reaction from NPS?[/quote]

The architects could easily bury half of the arena underground so as not to upset Park Service staff.

And the Metroway BRT already runs past mostly vacant office buildings in Crystal and Pentagon Cities with plenty of underground parking.

There’s a solution to all these logistical problems [/quote]

There will be solutions. But the question is will the solutions be tolerable for most people?
