If Bezos were to buy, then I could see him wanting space close in, to complement HQ2. They don't seem to have broken ground on the double helix // poop emoji building, but that site could barely hold the footprint of the stadium and would have no parking. It also has 3 high-end apartment towers across the street (12th and Eads), so unless they could cut a deal to use Pentagon parking on Sundays (unlikely), I just don't see that as a site. Not enough space in Potomac Yards left, either. That only leaves RFK, which is under Congressional control. I don't think McCarthy and Schumer would be able to push through any legislation to transfer the land to DC to allow for a new lease given animosity among some to Amazon. That I guess puts far out suburbs still as the likely location, which would detract from the HQ2 synergy.
I think there is zero chance that Arlington or Alexandria oks an NFL stadium. I wonder if the Post printing facility off the beltway has a large enough footprint, if not there, then the industrial area near the St James in Springfield seems ripe for redevelopment. I doubt Fairfax would ok either site though

Jay Glazer reporting that the 'ders are ready to go back to Wentz if Heinickie struggles today.
Who is Turner?
Why would an owner move from this market?
Because they can? Because they want to? Purely hypothetical.
Regarding the lack of a stadium, is there any chance that someone swoops in to buy the franchise only to move it to another city?
Fitting that their mascot also enjoys wallowing in crap
Apparently the Commies introduced a new pig mascot named "Major Tuddy" (whatever that means). Lots of "Major Turdy" jokes circulating already.
