Gotta distract everyone from the Dan Snyder getting ousted thing.

I personally hope this doesn't pan out.  The new stadium being built in VA will make it much harder for me to attend as many games as I do.

Commanders bill officially pulled from consideration in Virginia legislature

 

Quote

 

The Virginia legislature will not consider a stadium bill for the Washington Commanders when it reconvenes to consider the Governor’s budget amendments and vetoes.

 

Its sponsors said Thursday they will leave the bill in its conference committee until the legislative session ends, instead of bringing a final version to the House and Senate for a vote.

 

Any further action would have to take place in next year's General Assembly with a new bill.

 

Senator Dick Saslaw, D-Fairfax, who sponsored the Senate bill, said he continues to support the project but "it's become clear that there are issues to be resolved."

 

He noted the Congressional hearings into team owner Dan Snyder and the Attorney General investigation into the team's finances as obstacles that should be resolved before further consideration.

 

House Appropriations Chairman Barry Knight, R-Virginia Beach, who sponsored legislation in the House, said in an interview, “I totally concur with him.”

What a timely bump by me.

Snyder is the biggest thing standing in the way of the new stadium he's always wanted.

Even if it's for stupid reasons, I'm always happy to see public funding for stadiums fail.
