Jack Kent Cooke, owner of the Washington Redskins, unveiled plans for a 78,000-seat stadium in a mostly abandoned rail yard in Alexandria, Va., after months of squabbling among local officials and speculation about where the facility would be built.
Cooke said that the 300-acre site south of National Airport would be the home of the Redskins beginning with the 1994 season.
“We’re on the way to building the best bloody sports stadium in America,” Cooke said of the facility, which will be called Jack Kent Cooke Park at Potomac Yard.
