Well FedEx Field far out from Nova and DC.. Just like Dulles. My guess is if DC does not get the Expos.. That Puerto Rico might be a surprise location for the team. If the 25 or so games they plan to play as a home team down there.. But Delangelo (sp?) the owner of Baltimore will do whatever he can to prevent that ream from being moved there... but with MLB the owner of the team now.. there is prob little he can do.. His concern is that most of his fans come from the Nova/DC area.. which I highly doubt.. Perhaps move the stadium out to mananas or close enough to a metrorail.. so the ...games wont kill the I-95/3-95/I-66 section .. and to save traffic build an monorail to East falls church station.. But we are talking some money.... but not like the Springfield maze they pretend to call an interchange that makes even the drivers in So. Cal. head spin. Or you could always play the games elsewhere (norfolk area? or Richmond maybe.. ) tear down RFK, and rebuild on the land. if you started in the next few months you could have it by opening season 2004.. or at least by the al-star break.
