Redskins stadium in District remains a city dream - D.C. Wire - The Washington Post
One day after the Washington Redskins heartbreaking loss at FedEx Field, several D.C. Council members said the body is prepared to consider what it would take for the team to move into a new stadium in the District.
Speaking to reporters at his monthly press conference, Council Chairman Phil Mendelson (D) said the council would like to see all professional teams that have the name Washington in their name play in the District of Columbia.
But Mendelson and council member Jack Evans (D-Ward 2), chairman of the Committee on Finance and Revenue, stressed that any discussion about the team breaking its lease at FedEx Field in Prince Georges County would have to originate from either team owner Daniel Snyder or Mayor Vincent C. Gray (D).
A Gray spokesman said the mayor has had informal discussions with team officials and council members, but the city remains a long way from any sort of formal negotiations about a potential new stadium in the District.
