In the latest bit of stadium-related drama, the Washington Post is reporting that the District government is in default of its lease agreement with Major League Baseball, according to a letter sent by MLB’s legal team. MLB claims that the District is delinquent in handing over key documents such as the lease of the stadium grounds, proof of land ownership, and monthly project schedules.

The letter serves as a written warning, announcing MLB’s intention of taking legal action against the District government if its grievances are not addressed within 30 days. Mark H. Tuohey, chairman of the D.C. Sports and Entertainment Commission, is assuring baseball fans and district residents to remain calm, stating, “There are some issues where there are disagreements. We’re working them out. Most of it will be done by the end of day.”

We’re thinking that this is just another of the numerous bumps that have adorned the path to stadium completion. Even so, we tend to be wary of threats, especially when delinquency is involved.
