Getting 33 acres of DC land is a gigantic District subsidy. At market rate that would go for millions of dollars. And we're not talking about the RFK site, we're talking about the Reservation 13 site. This has been painfully and painstakingly turned over from the Feds to DC for development.

The problem with the training facility is that it would displace the mixed use development already planned for the site. As I live about 3 football fields from the site in question, I don't want to have to walk five more blocks out of my way to go AROUND a closed practice facility to get to a mixed use development that has shrunk from 60 acres to 25.

Football displaces development, not spurs it.
