Politics is nothing new to Washington; D.C.; even in the arena marked with base paths and outfield grass. The stadium for the expansion Washington Nationals baseball team cost over $600 million and while opponents decried the waste of taxpayer money; supporters promised the stadium would stimulate economic development. Land swaps; closed-door deals; and valuable parking-lot strategies were as complex as any game plan employed on the diamond. The districtrsquo;s past stadiums; tracks and Olympics facilities are archived and described in this history; along with their political backdrops. The book features numerous drawings and photographs.
