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: https://teapawt.net/t.co/rPKlazwlTU

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.

Narrator: taxpayer dollars will likely be used to help pay for it.
New Post poll: A majority of Washingtonians support building a new Redskins stadium on the RFK site, but most don’t want to use any taxpayer dollars to help pay for it (via @RickMaese and @EmGusk) wapo.st/2QGRMyJ
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: hailnorfk.com/
Most Washingtonians want a new Redskins stadium on RFK site but not the bill, Post poll finds washingtonpost.com/sports/20…
More than 4,000 people have signed on to a petition against bringing an NFL stadium back to RFK: hailnorfk.com
Today @DCist and @CityLab both have articles on RFK and stadiums as land use.

...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?
"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: trib.al/xz3jPM0
Tonight's RFK-related event with DCist is sold out, but there is a waitlist: trib.al/pTpd6Hd
Petition to be say one football stadium shouldn’t be replaced by another: hailnorfk.com
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 wapo.st/32sA5Wc
In case you're wondering what Dan Snyder has been up to: pagesix.com/2019/06/18/redsk… #hailno
😬
.@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."
“But there’s a metro station people will use to get to the games.”
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. caseytrees.maps.arcgis.com/a…. #HailNo #HillEast

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

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.
Good update on the push to keep an NFL stadium from returning to RFK after last year’s budget deal went nowhere before the shutdown. “There’s almost nothing worse that you can do with a plot of land than devote it to an NFL stadium.” #hailno
