Grant lays out the case for why The District is the best place for a new Commanders stadium, but also why it is the most difficult to actualize.

00:00If you want to tell me I'm 30 years old and I want the stadium in D.C.
00:04because D.C. is where D.C. team should be.
00:07Totally get that logic.
00:09I want the stadium in D.C. because it's equidistant
00:14to the majority of the fan base in Virginia and Maryland.
00:17Of course, like yes, D.C. is the best option.
00:19D.C. should be the preference.
00:21But it is also irrefutably a lot harder to do.
00:24To land the plane than it is on the other highways.
00:27And my point is, how much more of a pain in the ass
00:30would we allow the RFK site to be before we just say,
00:33you know what, I don't know.
00:36This probably isn't worth it.
00:37But I think to your point, they have to think about
00:40where's the highest ceiling for returns?
00:42What's the stadium that we can build that will get the most fans back?
00:46That's RFK.
00:47What's the stadium that we can build that'll have the largest season ticket waiting list?
00:51That's RFK.
00:52What's the stadium that we can build that'll have the most butts in seats every week
00:55for the first few years?
00:56That's RFK.
00:57And I'm sure that they prefer it for the same reason.
01:00But you can't make that happen if it's not happening.
01:04Right.
