Councilmember Vincent Orange’s vision for a “100,000 seat domed stadium, an 18-hole golf course, a multimedia soundstage, a film and photography center, an indoor waterpark, and hotel accommodations” on the grounds of RFK Stadium and the surrounding area would cost the city an estimated $2 million to study.
