I guess fans will need to leave the game early so they don't miss the last

metro or the WFT will have to pick up the tab (aka pay for OT) so the metro can stay open later. Metro changed its policy a few years ago (I think), so I think all the owners in the sports/entertainment industry are well aware of it. I believe there have been times when the venue wasn't willing to pick up the tab for whatever reason. When Metro announced the policy change I believe it estimated the OT cost was at least $100K.

One of the glaring RFK memories for me was the lack of parking around the

We used to park at far away Metro stops and take the subway**

Will the WFT be playing indoors or out with this proposal?**
Tuckahokie • 04/17/25 06:09 AM ET
It will be a dome most likely**
HokieJamie • 04/17/25 06:18 AM ET
Uggh…that has no soul**

Super bowl, final 4, concerts etc needs a roof**
HokieJamie • 04/17/25 10:23 AM ET
I know...elements are part of the game IMHO that will be lost**
Tuckahokie • 04/17/25 10:31 AM ET
Yeah, but DC needs the dome to sell the project as a multi-use venue.**

Wasn't the Cowboys stadium 1 billion dollars, and the greatest thing ever?
Coach McGuirk • 04/16/25 09:04 PM ET
That was a long time ago now. SoFi Stadium in LA cost $5 billion.**
HokieNoVA • 04/16/25 10:28 PM ET
Only $750 million of taxpayer money!**

I really wish people would learn to give us a “spoiler alert “. **
HokieGator • 04/16/25 06:35 PM ET
I'll believe it when I see it. DC Council still has to approve the plan

If they rebuild FedEx, where will the Skins play during construction?
EDGEMAN • 04/16/25 06:13 PM ET
Probably build it in the parking lot closest to the metro stadium.
HokieNoVA • 04/16/25 06:31 PM ET
Like what the Titans are doing in Nashville. **
vthokieq • 04/17/25 09:16 AM ET
The Metro would need to significantly expand their hours on game day.**
EDGEMAN • 04/17/25 06:08 AM ET
Why? The Metro is open on Sunday from 7am- midnight**
VT_NOVA • 04/17/25 10:57 AM ET
If you have a night game at a stadium with little parking...
