Events DC is slated to unveil preliminary concepts for repurposing the land at RFK Stadium at a community meeting tonight.

But first they leaked the six proposals to The Washington Post.

Two of the plans that the city’s convention and sports authority handed the paper could include a return of The Washington Football team. But even if that is scuttled by the intransigence of Dan Snyder, who has steadfastly refused to change the team’s name, the other proposals also include major sports and entertainment options. Among them: a Chelsea Piers-like complex, a water park, and an arena for the Wizards and Capitals.

Star architecture firm OMA came up with two overarching concepts for the 190-acre property that could then be configured for different uses, according to The Post:

In the first design, a plinth (or platform) would be constructed north-south through the site, allowing parking to be built beneath. The second design would maintain the area’s current configuration but add parking garages at the northern and southern ends.

For both designs, the architects outlined three scenarios: one with an NFL stadium, one with an arena and one with no sports anchor but a space for cultural attractions such as a concert hall, science center or aquarium.

The leaked plans raise a host of questions, but Events DC isn’t answering them.

“We’re not releasing any more information at this time … We wanted to go to the community first,” said Event D.C. spokeswoman Ashley Forrester, in reference to tonight’s meeting. When pressed that they haven’t actually released any information and they’ve already spoken about the plans before going to the community, Forrester claimed that “We didn’t know when [The Post] would run the story.”

The vast majority of residents who came out to two recent community meetings said they were opposed to a new NFL stadium. About 58 percent of the city favors a return of the football team, according to a Washington City Paper poll, but it quickly gets complicated when you ask about the name and who should pay for it.

The official unveiling of the plans will take place at a community meeting starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
