 DC's beloved RFK stadium has had its day back when the team had values. It is now a team that seems aimless with no real attachment to the city - other than colluding with the District government and the Feds to get back into the city. I won't go into that name/logo or the team's hiring practices.

The citizens of Wards 6 & 7 deserve more than another 50+ years of football that causes headaches in parking for residents, public drunkenness, traffic congestion, and other ills associated with a stadium that will be used only 8-12 times a year. All that wasted space in the form of massive parking lots.

RFK campus is just beginning a new redevelopment of the entire 190 acres (www.rfkcampus.com/). It is geared toward a campus that is alive with local sports, entertainment, a food market, natural green spaces, pedestrian bridges, a research center to study RFK, and more. All for residents and visitors to our city to use DAILY.

Oxon Cove - near Blue Plains/Naval Research Lab - is a good choice. A 20,000 seat arena at RFK campus would fit better.
