No.  Planes the runways at National are pretty much North --> South.  
Planes coming in from the North that happen to fly over the Arlington
/Rossyln area usually make the turn at or before the USA Today building.
In case you haven't seen the USA Today building, it is much taller than
the proposed statium.

I'm not surprised this hasn't become an issue, since it isn't.
