Recent talks have begun on building D.C United, Washington D.C’s soccer team, a new stadium located at Buzzard Point. If all goes as planned, the framework will be in place by the end of the year. So what does that mean for the Redskins?

Washingtonians loyal to the Washington Redskins have been arguing for years that the team has no business playing in Landover, Maryland, which is just outside of the Nations Capital where then Jack Kent Cooke Stadium was built in 1997. In fact a lot of fans believe moving to Maryland has in fact been a curse to the team since that’s when the team started to collapse after it’s reign in the 80′s and early 90′s.

So what does this move mean for the Washington Redskins? Well right now, nothing. The team’s lease at FedExField is not up until 2027, another 15 years, and in talks with Cindy Boren, a Redskins spokesmen said “the team plans to be there till the lease is up.” In 2010 reports sparked up about the Redskins possibly moving back to D.C when Councilman Jack Evans said he would “Like to see the Redskins back in D.C.”

It doesn't matter to me where the stadium is located. Although I think putting it in DC would make it even more of a hassle to attend games.

I liked the Virginia move rumor ........'cause thats where I am....LOL.

[IHateTheSkins]

Im fine with it where it is. Would be nice to have it back in the actual city, but getting in and out would be a nightmare.

Then you can be closer to the team you hate on constantly.

Not necessarily. People would probably ride the Metro more to games being the Metro comes up two blocks away, rather than a mile like it does at FedExField.

Traffic also wouldn't be nearly as bad as it could be, simply because of them using Lot 8, which comes right off the free way into the stadium. No parking pass, no entry.

I never deal with traffic, that's the enjoyment of tailgating. Get there early, get the parking space you want, not to mention no traffic. Leaving would be different of course, but that's the same for every stadium.

They'd be closer to me, yup. Growing up by RFK it would bring back a lot of good memories and hopefully some good karma. I'll never forgive JKC for moving us out there to that **** hole. Even though the stadium is much better than RFK ever was.

Yeah if you're already in DC. The a large majority of Skins fans live in the Maryland/Virginia area. I think their current location is easy/fair on a larger majority of fans.

I live in VA. Usually head to games around 8:30am, get there at 9am and enjoy tailgating. Monday Night games are usually the worst simply because of Monday Night. Even then I leave here at 5:30 and get there around 7, but I also don't tailgate then.

[IHateTheSkins]

I work butt-**** early in the morning so I only go to the one oclock games on Sunday, and it took damn near two hours just to get to the beltway leaving the stadium today. If it were in D.C., I think it would have been worse.

[IHateTheSkins]

Not gonna lie, I wouldn't mind seeing Cousins start against the Vikings this upcoming game. Of course I am very disappointed that Griffen was injured, but honestly, this game against Minnesota doesn't mean ****. I'd rather Griffen get rest and get healthy for the Giants coming up, and see what Cousins can do in a legit NFL start. We might be able to get a first rounder back with him if he continues to play as well as he has when we have seen him play. Apparently the Browns still need a QB, who knows what they would be willing to give up for a potential starting QB. IMO, he's already proven to be better then Weeden, without even starting a game. Of course this is all speculation and I have no idea what the teams plans are for Cousins, but it would actually be nice to see him start against the Vikings this week.

LOL where in the hell do you park? Arena Drive? I was out of the parking lots within about 15 minutes I'd say. Granted I know the back roads, but man, two hours?

[IHateTheSkins]

Yeah, arena drive at the church. I dont have a parking pass gotta use the cash lot.

[InsaneBoost]

Yeah, hell with that. I used to park there when it was the red lot and would wait FOREVER to get out. Should think about getting a parking pass.

I live on the same street as the stadium, and there not moving around 20yrs. The stadium is one of the best in the league!!!!!
