RFK stadium (a baseball stadium) is the home to the MLS team that has the most stars on its jersey (DC United).

That stadium is older than I am. Be careful what you wish for.
Maybe a multi use stadium works well for soccer in Seattle, but it does not work well everywhere for soccer and MLS knows that.

This is at the widely loved Target Field:



Obstructed views are inevitable.

Point being the Metrodome is a terrible 70s design. 30 years from now I'm certain stadiums will have improvements but we're a bit further along in understanding what makes a good stadium for the size of crowd expected per sport.

The problem with DC United playing at RFK isn't because its multi-purpose, its that its dang near falling apart and DC United has to pay way too much rent to play there.

I don't think anyone has or should think an ownership group that doesn't include Zigy is gonna be able to put an MLS team in this new stadium.

When Barra Brava finally breaks those stands it's going to be freaking awesome if nobody gets hurt too bad.

Awesome article BQ

I joined in with Barra Brava a few years ago when DC United was playing Cruz Azul. It was beyond freaking awesome jumping up and down on those bleachers. I would love to go back out there and watch another match.

I know the first player who hit a home run at RFK.

Fascinating look at the inside politics of the stadium bill the last few days.
