Hail No RFK!

The 190 acres at RFK Campus could be so much more than an NFL stadium that sits empty more than 300 days a year. #HailNo

If you agree:

[Hail No RFK! @RfkNo]

After 24 hours, heading toward 1500 signatures. It’s like people know NFL stadiums are a terrible use of public land and money.

Or people really don’t like Dan Snyder for a bunch of reasons.

Or both.

@dcsportsbog @RickMaese @EmGusk No taxpayer dollars? That almost never happens. Usually, taxpayers wind up footing more than half the bill: https://t.co/hllvztQuWi

[Martin Austermuhle @maustermuhle]

Narrator: taxpayer dollars will likely be used to help pay for it.

[Hail No RFK! @RfkNo]

And I want a pony for Christmas.

Look, in every new stadium built in the past 20 years, taxpayers on average paid 56% of a billion dollar-plus bill. Best case, that stadium is empty 350 days a year.

There are better uses of the land and money. #HailNo: https://t.co/VXxF9qRbna

Most Washingtonians want a new Redskins stadium on RFK site but not the bill, Post poll finds https://t.co/eqAKIBtGJl

More than 4,000 people have signed on to a petition against bringing an NFL stadium back to RFK: https://t.co/gMoatBnEt9

Intriguing entry!

Ohh that is a very good idea!

...What will go in RFK Stadium’s place is a much more open-ended question!

What would you do with 190 acres in the middle of a city sitting by a river?

[Bloomberg CityLab @CityLab]

"While the end of the old stadium seems to be a foregone conclusion, what will go in its place ... is a much more divided debate." Read more on @DCist: https://t.co/bp2MHtnvJQ

Tonight's RFK-related event with DCist is sold out, but there is a waitlist: https://t.co/TNGoObpRFN

Petition to be say one football stadium shouldn’t be replaced by another: https://t.co/gMoatBnEt9

Let’s build more city and especially affordable, workforce, and family-sized housing. #hailno

RFK Stadium has 'exceeded its useful life' and will be razed within about two years, D.C. officials say https://t.co/G8s7cTsTWd

.@realDonaldTrump tells @WMALDC he'll go to a @Redskins game. And adds this about owner Dan Snyder: "And actually the owner is - he's really a good guy. He's been a supporter and he's done a very good job. You have a good team."

[Jade @JadeMStone]

@MelissaYeakley @rcoomber @kpkindc @311DCgov @TheEventsDC One neighbor that has been on this block for 55 years said it's not even close to the old Skins days at RFK. I'd hate to see that again! #HailNo @RFKNo #hilleast #KingmanPark

[Hail No RFK! @RfkNo]

“But there’s a metro station people will use to get to the games.”

[Kingman Park Kaleidoscope @KingmanPark]

ICYMI the traffic in #KingmanPark is bonkers tonight because of a soccer game at RFK. For perspective, tonight’s 20k attendees is less than a third of a new NFL stadium’s projected capacity. https://t.co/Oo5tkCORqa. #HailNo #HillEast

[Charles Allen @charlesallen]

The future of the RFK Campus should not include a football stadium. Instead, we need to build housing (including affordable & workforce housing), jobs, parks, & more. But we should all agree that the future of this site should be in DC’s hands, not the federal government. #HailNo

[Hail No RFK! @RfkNo]

@DCist Closing in on 4,000 signatures against an NFL stadium at RFK. The 190-acres could be so much more than a stadium holding football games 8 times a year. Sign here: https://t.co/u1wAbNosx8

[Hail No RFK! @RfkNo]

@mattyglesias Heading toward 4,000 DC residents saying #hailno to an NFL stadium at RFK. THE 190-acres could be so much more: https://t.co/aA5sMW77r7

[David Alpert @alpert]

@McCartneyWP @alex_block This would be an amazingly great outcome for our region if the region’s leaders can stumble their way into not throwing subsidies at him enough to end there.

[Hail No RFK! @RfkNo]

Reminder: there’s no urgent need to leave Fedex Field.

[Robert McCartney @McCartneyWP]

This leaves DC as only realistic stadium site—but It will be hard if not impossible to get necessary approval from Congress. Snyder is in deep hole here.

[Hail No RFK! @RfkNo]

@CoriC_FOX5DC @fox5dc Not at RFK. https://t.co/u1wAbNosx8
