Maybe if they had shown the neighbors a bunch of high rise dorms first, the baseball/cricket field wouldn't have looked so bad ........ just sayin.

Washington Freedom cricket owner lobbies for stadium at RFK site

Washington Freedom owner Sanjay Govil has lobbied top city officials to construct a cricket stadium on the RFK Stadium campus.

"Team officials say that the approximately 4,000-seat facility 'would be temporary while development plans for the site are worked out,' but they 'hope eventually to build a permanent one if Congress approves legislation to hand over the land to D.C.' Govil has hired lobbying firm Group 360 LLC with ties to the D.C. government entity that oversees the RFK site. Group 360 is run by Max Brown, who 'for eight years chaired the board of Events DC.' Govil confirmed that he has engaged Brown to 'make the case for a stadium that could house not just cricket but also rugby and other events.' Avikar Govil, son of Sanjay Govil, noted that he and his father are 'pitching a venue with about 4,000 temporary seats, probably in the form of bleachers.' He expects that it will be 'five to seven years before permanent plans for the site take shape, at which point he hopes for a larger, long-term stadium'”
