There are a variety of items that have cropped up over the past few weeks that deserve a look. Over at the Washington Times, Eric Fisher has two recent stories -- one on how District officials now favor a stadium site in Northeast near New York Avenue; the other on how the announcement of proposed stadium sites in Virginia has mobilized public opposition throughout the region.
I've said more than a few times that Northern Virginia's traffic grid simply can't support a baseball stadium -- something that the vast majority of area residents understand all too well. At first, I thought a site on Mt. Vernon Square in the District was the best, but community opposition seems to have derailed that idea, with New York Avenue being the next best choice. If all else fails, the site at the current RFK Stadium exists as the ultimate fall back position.
Meanwhile, out in Oregon, the campaign to bring the Expos to Portland continues to chug along. A stadium financing plan is steadily moving through the state House of Representatives, a plan that was endorsed this morning by the state's largest newspaper, The Oregonian.
