I've continued holding to my petulant decision to ignore all stories on the battles over the financing of the
new Nationals stadium, but alas, sometimes rash actions have their consequences, such as my missing this little tidbit at the end of today's
Post story, "
Cropp Still Hopeful of Private Financing": "And Major League Baseball agreed to drop a requirement that the city pay significant damages if the opening of the stadium, scheduled for March 2008, is delayed by a year or two." I sure wish someone had taken me up on my $1 bet as to whether the stadium will debut on schedule! In other end-of-article tidbits, a
Washington Times piece on the National Building Museum gala honoring
Forest City Enterprises mentions that
HOK Sport expects to debut the design of the new stadium in August.
