Back to RFK?

On the ride home from work yesterday, I heard on the radio, a story regarding "talk" about the Redskins possibly moving back to D.C. and building a new stadium in place of the old RFK stadium. Below is the excerpt of the story.

WASHINGTON -- There's been some talk around town of a plan to bring the Redskins back to RFK Stadium, and D.C. Mayor-elect Adrian Fenty said he'd like to see Washington's football team playing again in the city instead of the suburbs.On Wednesday, News4 first reported that both current D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams and Council Finance Chairman Jack Evans have talked to team owners about building a new, domed stadium on the site of RFK.On Thursday, Fenty agreed the idea was worth pursuing. Officials have said the plans are not specific, but the vision is of a new stadium with a dome. "People love the Redskins. I think people would love to have the Redskins back in the District. The accessibility of the RFK site versus FedEx Field is unquestioned," said D.C. Councilmember Jack Evans. Evans said officials have talked informally to Redskins owner Dan Snyder and associates about building a new stadium on the RFK site when the Nationals move to a new stadium in 2008.Officials also said that with a year-round dome, a new football stadium would be eligible for the Super Bowl event that Snyder dreams of.

Personally, I think it's an interesting idea. It would be a really good thing for D.C. if they'd land the Super Bowl someday in the future. Just imagine the REVENUE the city would get! We all know how revenue-hungry governments are.
