DC United stadium?

Steven Goff reported in today's Washington Post that 2 real estate developers who are on the verge of buying DC United are also involved in deals involving the future Washington Nationals stadium, a proposed DC United soccer stadium on the Anacostia river, as well as a new stadium for the Richmond Braves.

DC United have been the most successful team in the 10 years of the MLS. They have also been the most successful Washington DC sports team over the last 10 years. I'm not sure what the hold-up has been with getting a soccer stadium built in DC, but I could see a scenario in which United, like the Redskins before them sell their soul for a suburban stadium and sink into mediocrity beyond the reach of their most ardent fans.
