The Washington ‘Skins are getting a lot less Washington and a lot more Virginia with a new training facility being built in Richmond at local taxpayers’ expense.

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: rich sports team owner plays one jurisdiction off of another to get what he wants.

What’s going to happen with a proposed Washington Redskins training facility on the east end of Capitol Hill? No one yet knows, not even Mayor Vince Gray.

Mayor Vince Gray has agreed to meet with community members in Capitol Hill to discuss plans for a proposed Washington Redskins training facility near RFK stadium.

According to a senior D.C. official, Mayor Vince Gray is still in negotiations with the Washington Redskins over a plan to relocate the team’s Virginia-based training facility to a site on the eastern edge of Capitol Hill.

If the District wants to build the Washington Redskins a training facility as Mayor Vince Gray has hinted, Loudoun County won’t let the team’s current facility go without a fight.
