Washington DC is building a new MLS stadium. MLS is futbol –the world’s football. It’s played with a round ball, not a pointed oblong shaped object.
To build the MLS stadium, it needed to aquire land. Acquiring land isn’t always easy, and at times requires eminent domain.
To move forward with eminent domain, the city filed suit against land owners. The city then issued a press release that said the stadium will:
- transform a neighborhood
- generate hundreds of new jobs
