Report: DC might swap FBI for 'Skins

[frostyj]

We’re well aware that you can trade players, and managers, for that matter. But can you trade a major professional sports organization for the Federal Bureau of Investigations? We may find out.



According to NBC, Washington D.C. wants the Redskins back within the city. The problem is that the team’s lease at FedEx Field in Prince George’s County, Md. runs through 2027, seemingly locking the team in there for the immediate future.


However, an odd mutual solution to this conundrum may come from the fact that that the FBI wants to move from its headquarters, which is in fact located within the District of Columbia.
Under a proposed agreement that the two cities have reportedly talked about, Prince George’s County would let the Redskins out of their lease to move into a new stadium on the current site of RFK Stadium, in exchange for Washington supporting moving the FBI to Prince George’s County.

I wonder if it's just the cities talking or if the Skin's are in the mix too. I think it would be great to have them back in DC.

It feels like the media are putting the idea in the air than any actual formal discussion happening.

[chaaarmndr]

Hmmmm 15 years ago the city wouldn't cooperate with the skins about building a new stadium now they want em back? I would love for us to actually be in DC but lets be realistic, this is merely a pipe dream at this point

For a second, I thought this was one of those renaming the team threads and I thought

The Washington FBI... nah, but maybe the Washington G-Men... think we're better off sticking with the 'skins.

I dunno.

We could nickname RG3 "Big Government".

AlMo could be "the liberal agenda". (We're going to keep shoving it down your throat.)

Hope this happens. Would be awesome to have the redskins play in DC again.

I dunno.

AlMo could be "the liberal agenda". (We're going to keep shoving it down your throat.)

It wouldn't work because big government means big problems.

It's a bunch of hot air. FedEx is the place for the foreseeable future.

As much as I would LOVE for them to move back to DC, a new stadium is just about a 100% guarantee, that we as season ticket holders, would have to pay for PSL's

[BoRnAndRaiSedSkinsFan]

I dunno.

That nickname wouldn't work for RG3....he's way too efficient

[RedCapital]

Ugh, just what we needed. Political insinuations to kill the mood of ES.

A move back to DC would be awesome though.

[skin1106]

I would love a stadium like seattle's that actually keeps our fan noise within stadium. (State of the art). Let's bring washington redskins back to d.c.

[kevinklein]

A new stadium, eh? Think Snyd-y would build a dome for better Super Bowl chances, or keep it open, since the first cold weather Super Bowl will be played next year anyway?

I think it would great to be back in DC. For now, get field turf at fed ex. That field is embarrassing.

Nah, football was meant to be played on grass in the elements. Man against man against nature. If I had my way we'd have gopher holes that the players would have to avoid tripping over.

Okay, maybe not quite that far... but windmils and other mini golf obstacles could be fun.

Put a roof on a FedEx and call it a day.
