Honestly I can't imagine an uglier stadium than RFK, so anything they get is a move in the right direction. At least they will have their own stadium. I'd take a damn field with some lawn chairs if it meant we had our own place...

RFK was comical when I went there last year. Obviously nobody is putting money into it, but it was a wretched place to watch a game.

I was in RFK about 35 years ago to catch a Cosmos v Diplomats match and it was a dump then.

Idk what's worse? The stadium or the name of the old DC team? Who the hell thought naming a team "The Diplomats" was a good idea?!

Thats because the renderings went from this

to this

then this

and finally this

I remember congratulating the dc fans on big soccer and hoping that the renderings posted when they announced
the stadium(the second one) would be the one they would actually build.

Unfortunately it appears DC have gone the cheap route but i guess thats understandable.

The last two look pretty similar. But damn, that second concept is beautiful.

Look at all of that wasted space behind the goal..... WTF - they should get fined for not making the field as large as possible.

I'm starting to get bitterly jealous of other teams' stadium plans and improvements. I guess it's good for the MLS to have shinny new stadiums, but without any news of ours, I kind of want them all the crumble at the moment.

I want our stadium to have the crowd be as close as they are to the field like at WHL or Stamford Bridge. It makes the atmosphere a lot more intimate. They seem too far at the Etihad.

I think it's a good bet that whatever site we land, it's going to be cramped. Probably a medium sized field and stands with a steep grade.

Steep is very good - that would amplify the sound.
