They'll work out the Soccer scheduling problems. They do that all the time. Kinda like in cities (like here in Denver) where the Nuggetts and Avs. share the same building and same season.
The other good thing -- just because I get ticked off when taxpayers support a new statium, and then the team owners get all concessions, parking, sky boxes, etc. -- I think RFK is owned by the District (I could be wrong), and $15 Million is much less of a burdon on the public. Of course a new stadium will undoubtedly be a part of the new deal as it was here when the Rockies started out in Mile High, but moved to Coors Field when it was completed (at taxpayers expense).
Don't misunderstand, I think pro sports teams are basically good for a city, but the stadium deals are so lopsided for the owners I get frustrated.
