Honestly it’s just sad to not have a world class venue in DC in general.

What do we have now? Nats park? Anthem? Capitol One Arena? FedEx?

I'm not particularly stoked on any of those venues.

Wolf Trap IMO is a world class venue, but it's kind of niche.

DC isn't a sports town (compared to Boston, Philly, Chicago, Cleveland, etc. it's not I'm sorry). But we do have world-class public spaces and museums. I hope they turn RFK into another park with event space (like Wolf Trap).

What makes a sports town? DC was fanatical about the Nats and Caps when they won titles.

The Browns were selling out games when they were 0-16. DC is too corporate/transplant/transient to support bad teams like that. I don't even know if there's a sports bar in my neighborhood.

Dc was a sports town through the 90s. All we needed to see was the rg3 blip years to know it’s just lying dormant.
