  1. How about Cropp Field.....We might just get it approved by the DC council.

    IntheNet- When are you going to change your Team classification? Are you finally back on the bandwagon or not?

    The new stadium should simply be named: The Trophy Case

    And we could call the road circling the stadium "Cropp Circle."

    ...and the official title for the cleaning crew could be "The Cropp Dusters"

    Seemed as good a place as any to put a photo of Poplar Point.

    Um, Natty, on the first road trip you took with us (yes, they got your check) we drove past Poplar Point. We all pointed it out and said "oh, that's where the stadium is supposed to be..." Or did you get on the bus at New Carollton and miss that?

    I got on at Summers and I don't rememebr that at all. Maybe I was drinking :)
    Thanks for the picture, I'd only seen it in drawings. I take it we'd be in the empty lot? or up the river further?

    You can even have a boat in for marine commuters just as they do at Husky at the University of Washington!

    Why do I get the feeling that 20 years from now (Ill still be young and virile), we'll be standing around Poplar Point having a brew or two and some old dude is going to crack the ol 'Hey guys, remember that time Natty kept asking if the Eagles got his check?' :rolleyes: ;)

    Hey Natty, some of the Eagles, namely Paul and K, called me from the Happy Hour now and said after going over the records, they don't know for sure if they got the check or not.

    Needless to say, it looks like you're going to have to send another.

    I used to go to Husky games as a kid that way ... it was just too damn cool!!

    Of course I'm not sure I'd take a speedboat up the Anacostia ;-) Bodies and industrial waste really mess up a good prop ;)
    Maybe I could do some bass fishin' on the Potomac and head up to the game with fresh fish for the SE tailgate ...... I think someone else already brings the crabs :eek:

    You'll be my age, you may want to rethink that :)

    Actually, the statement will be "Hey Natty, the SE's got your check!" Whereupon the elder SE/Barra members will laugh so hard that their glass eyes and false teeth fall out and their kids groan...

    :)

    I know that the stadium will get some cheesy corporate name but one end of the stadium should definitly be the "Crack Den"...

    I think the Bruce Arena Arena works, or maybe just the Bruce Arena....

    can't wait to go see games at "The Bruce" ;)


    (PS I'm only half joking...if naming rights isnt an issue (and I'm totally cool with it being called Whole Foods Stadium if it means the thing gets built and looks nice), I would like to call it something like "Bruce Arena Stadium" or something, tho we'd still all call it "the Arena" or whatever.

    Can we use his monster belly as the stadium overhang?

    Actually, not being from the area I'd like to see "Anacostia Road" as the new stadium name. It'll get people talking and everyone will know where it is.
