But at their current size they're the Craven Cottage of MLS. There's an intimacy that they probably like (and a loss in revenue they hate).The city and club need to figure out how to engineer a serious expansion of that place. They could draw 40-50K each game if they had the seats.

That looks pretty small. The street side only has one level. And hard to expand without building out over the sidewalk.BUZZARD POINT NEWS & UPDATES

Bit of a letdown from its original proposal but any stadium is better than RFK.
I like it a lot! There's something intriguing about an Asymmetrical stadium built to accommodate the urban landscape. Best example is Newcastle's St. James Park.That looks pretty small. The street side only has one level. And hard to expand without building out over the sidewalk.

So you're saying some genius planned to make two sides 3x larger than the other two sides?Haha. I know what you mean. That said, St James' Park was opened in 1892. I think it's more accurate to say that the urban landscape was built to accommodate St James' Park The surrounding residential streets have definitely restricted its development though.
Probably has to do with the fact that the place is literally a swamp that was drained so digging too deep might cause structural problems down the line.The stadium has to be built on ground level, they can't go underground deep because of something D.C. related. People on Reddit have been saying that the look of the stadium is getting shittier as new renderings are coming out.

Does anyone know what the projected capacity is for the new DC stadium?
