D.C. United back in talks with District officials

After a lot of frustration and walking out it looks like DC United and the District of Columbia may actually "get it done". This comes courtesy of the D.C. Business Journal:

If there’s one thing Kevin Payne has learned, it’s not to let a loss or two get him down.

The president and CEO of D.C. United recently re-engaged D.C. officials in discussing an idea that seemed completely dead months ago: a new soccer stadium at Poplar Point

Yeah, as long as the stadium is in the DC area, with room for expansion, I don't care. We nearly averaged 20k last year and this proposal would cap stadium attendance right there. Additionally, Fenty wants to sell off the PP rights to developers for retail, housing, blah blah blah, and is very on record as being anti-stadium. We couldn't expand and that will have a very noticeable effect on our fanbase in the next five years.
