Do cookie cutters impress fans? It is part of the crew of stadiums like Shea with nothing special about it. Even dimensions, nothing of interest, it's hot and boring. Unlike Shea, it has no escalators either.
DC should foot the bill for the new stadium, after they stupidly ran the Redskins out of town. FedEx Field would have been built in DC, paid for by Jack Kent Cooke, but DC couldn't get their act together.
So how did the DC government get rid of a free stadium paid for by Jack Kent Cooke?
