WTOP’s Adam Tuss asks an important question: When the new Nationals stadium opens in the spring, fans will head to the Navy Yard stop on the Green line — even though the Stadium-Armory station on the Orange and Blue lines will be the only stop with the word “stadium” in it. Couldn’t there be a lot of confusion on game days?

Apparently, WMATA hadn’t thought of this until Tuss asked them about it. It does seem like it would be a good idea to rename the Navy Yard stop to indicate that it’s where the Nationals stadium is — though it would be pretty funny to watch visiting teams’ fans end up at RFK. The main obstacle, of course, is cost: it runs the city about $200,000 to replace all of their signs and maps.

Do you think it’s worth it to change the name of the Navy Yard stop?
