Dana.. at least read the damn thing... http://www.Dcballpark.com Is done by the people that are building the bloody ballpark, they oughta know where the damn thing is. It's in Anacostia, it's on the damn map as Anacostia. It's been Anacostia for decades. It will continue to be Anacostia after the stadium is built
I'm not embarrassed in the least, I live here, I know of what I speak. I'm through beating a dead horse. We agree on a lot go things but DC geography isn't one of them... Here's a DC Metro system map http://www.wmata.com/metrorail/systemmap.cfm see where the Anacostia Metro station is, that's where they're building the new ballpark, that's Anacostia it always has been Scott A.

OK, we can soldier on with this ridiculous argument. I don't follow sports, and a new stadium in DC is very high on a list of things I don't give a damn about. That said, according to the map on Jerry's link, this new stadium is very much across the river from Anacostia. "The city of DC has chosen a Near Southeast site for the new Washington Nationals baseball stadium. It's within the South Capitol Street Corridor, bounded by N, Potomac Avenue, 1st, and South Capitol. The Navy Yard Metro station is one block north, on M Street. (This map was taken from the ballparks.com Nationals page.) " Near Southeast. Please feel free to consult a map and compare this location to the location, say, of the Anacostia Metro station. I don't know why you are bringing up statistics, but mmmm, DC geography, you do know I lived there for many years, right? And drove a taxi for a good chunk of that? Not that this matters -- what you are saying is demonstrably untrue ;) Let me un-embarrass you a bit. There is in fact a bit of Pennsylvania Avenue that crosses the river. This neighborhood is known as Penn-Branch and is also not Anacostia per se, but that's much more of a quibble, and if that is where you thought they were building the stadium you were at least on the right side of the river ;) Dana >Uhmmmmmm...noooo if you really had been keeping up you'd know that RFK >Stadium has been in existence sense the 1960's and is the >*t-e-m-p-o-r-a-r-y* home to the Nationals and it's where the *Redskins used >to play* It's next to the DC Armory, about 10 blocks east of the Capitol and >About five blocks west of the Anacostia river. > >Here's the link you've been looking for >http://www.dcballpark.com/ > >They're building the stadium of off Pennsylvania Ave just after you cross >the river in to Anacostia. > >The Redskins now play at FedEx Field across the street from where the >Capitol Center (it's now a shopping mall owned in part by Magic Johnson) >used to be (that's in Maryland BTW, the state above DC) > >Stick to what ya know kiddo, 'cause DC geography and statistics ain't it. > > > > >Scott A.
