Charging $20k a seat for 50,000 seats would raise $1 billion. Some will be less, some will be (a lot) more, but that gives you a general idea of the numbers they'll be working with.
Under questioning from @charlesallen President of @Commanders acknowledges significant part of the team’s $2.7 Billion investment will come from sales of Personal Seat License paid for by fans. Team has told @nbcwashington the PSL sales will raise hundreds of millions $.

The kids don’t know how great and innovative the @dcsportsbog was. Heck, the kids don’t know that the DC sports internet used to be a lot of fun.
Sad news. @dcsportsbog is leaving The Washington Post, effective tomorrow. I am only allowed one tweet to commemorate his time here so all I can say is I am heartbroken. Feel free to let him know your fav DC Sports Bog moment. He will always be the voice of the fan.

In a weird way, this might be the nudge DC Council needs to get the job done.

3 years, $90 mil. They’ll figure it out.
Commanders GM Adam Peters and HC Dan Quinn will speak with reporters next Tuesday to open up training camp. Will be interesting what, if any, update there is on Terry McLaurin’s contract.

The Terry McLaurin contract dispute is the rare one where 90% of the fans are lining up on the athlete’s side. (And they’re right.).

The amphitheater pays $50 per hour to use the Belle Isle lot, which has 60 spaces. Nearby residents are pointing to an agreement that limits private use of the lot to Venture Richmond events.
Amphitheater's use of Belle Isle parking lot is raising questions from nearby residents.

I get it. Commanders are good now so you’ve got to scratch your bad football itch somewhere.
This is my last day working in Washington. Transferring to work for the AP in New York to cover sports from there, starting next week. Will still be doing some Capitals as national NHL writer and staying in the NFC East on Giants. Will miss D.C. terribly. Time for a new chapter.
