Expand You are correct. Washington said it would be built across the street from the original park or he would tell his people on the Stadium Authority to vote 'no.' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBWSF Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Its going to be interesting to see how this plays out. The present ownership does not want to renew the lease at the present stadium.
