Good stuff,
Not sure how I missed that article.
I am not a soccer "fan" but its funny that I say that since I have been to more MLS matches and even MLB games than NBA or NFL combined; two sports which I would consider myself a "fan" of.
It's the atmosphere that makes it great for me. I can't watch it on TV, but being at a game is just so different.
Even at RFK Stadium (DC) it was close to 1/2 mile from Metro door to Stadium turnstile, so 3/4 of a mile from Witte to Alamo Stadium is definitely walkable.
The renovation/expanded use of the stadium would solidify that northern end of the core and add another item on the "things to do" list.
Now we just have to wait and see. Keep the news coming
