    I can trace ancestors to Orange, VA back in the late 1600s to early 1700s.

    I would think in Soldier Field you could average 40k if properly marketed.

    I didn't know Washington considered them a rival, so definitely the former. I take it you know the area.

    Nice to see a fellow "my family has been here too long" poster. My mom's side of the family goes back to Pocahontas and John Rolfe.

    Could he have been including Minny or Portland? #28 is the other obvious one (Sac?).

    Home opener is April 14th. They are having a "Meet your seat" event on Sunday (IIRC) for season ticket holders. I forget when the team store in the stadium is to open....might have already.

    Why would they want to play their, currently 2-0 on the road.:)

    That is one beautiful stadium, I wonder how many years of sellouts it would take to expand the capacity to 25k? They averaged 23k last year.

    Well, 2 years at Lockhart does not bode well for construction starting on the permanent stadium this year.

    Late this year if at all.

    Did anybody believe it was going to be anywhere else BUT Lockhart for the Undead Corpse of Miami Fusion?

    If construction stats late this year, at least they won't have to start the 2022 season on a long road trip. :rolleyes:

    They should anyway. Isn't that a Rite of Passage for building a new stadium?
