Sports in DC

I think that it's crazy that the Washington Redskins don't really play anywhere near DC. That said, I also don't think that it makes much sense to build a baseball stadium downtown. Who in their right mind would make a $400 million bet on the future of baseball right now? There is some talk that the Expos could go to Washington. I thought that the league was going to retract and kill off the Expos and/or the Twins. What has changed to make keeping these teams alive within the league a more viable option? Money. But I still say it's a crazy bet. But, if the whole thing or most of the project is financed by the taxpayers as opposed to any individual or group, then I guess the franchise owner has almost nothing to lose.
