[Lincolnparkdc] FYI -- Future of RFK -- H.R. 4984 - Congressional Markup on NOW

[James Grimaldi]

Not so. That’s 1970s style stadiums. Room for both.

In fact a stadium (Nats Park) can and must must have all of that to be
successful: entertainment, restaurants, housing, senior living, recreation
center, sports fields, medical offices, and a river front park

That’s *exactly* what Angela Alsobrooks is offering in PG at the FedEx site
— right now.

So much backward thinking. Lack of imagination. No vision. Sclerotic
thinking. Look at stadiums built in the last few years — not 20, 30, 50
years ago.

Where do you think Beyoncé, Springsteen, Elton John, World Cups, Olympics
go?
