I hope so... I like DC United. Oh, and screw baseball...
The baseball players are not going to like it one bit. Here in Rochester, the local soon to be MLS team plays on the same field as the AAA baseball team. No matter how hard the grounds crew works, it causes problems in the infield. But, the Nationals and United might have more money to work with.
Soccer is a second tier sport in America. It's only a matter of time before the needs of the baseball team will outweigh the other considerations.
Here in Rochester, the local soon to be MLS team Did you get some secret memo? I think Rochester lost its best shot when Salt Lake City got one of the new franchises.
Why don't they just have DC United play at FexEx Field or something for a few matches during the season?
Is FedEx Field wide enough?
It says right in the article that FedEx field is too suburban, and hard for their mainly urban-based fans to access. Hell, it's hard for anyone to access.

i used to go out and watch the (now defunct) canberra cosmos in the australian soccer league. they shared the ground with a (now defunct) team in the (now defunct) national baseball league. they left the diamond in front of the main stand and put the soccer pitch somewhere in the outfield. all i remember is that it was a loooong way away.....
FedEx Field can't be that hard to access, seeing as the Redskins manage to sell it out every game..
