We haven't secured it in other stadium deals,
We need to find a way to get the (D.C. Council) to honor the commitment it made to get a stadium built. I am guardedly optimistic that we can find a way to get it done.
We are growing increasingly concerned about the District's ability to meet the agreed-upon December 31, 2005 deadline, by which date a number of critical tasks in the Baseball Stadium Agreement must be completed,
I urge the City to accept this compromise. We all have worked long and hard and it's time to give the Nationals a new stadium and a strong future by bringing this matter to a successful close.
