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