Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
D.C. United takes on L.A. Galaxy in 2011.
After two years of negotiations and nearly $200 million in concessions by the District, a deal to build D.C. United’s 20,000-seat soccer stadium in southwest D.C. is almost final. But reports that the team is considering a bid to build in Northern Virginia have forced negotiators — and the team’s fans — to reimagine who might ultimately benefit from the deal. Kojo finds out what’s behind the last-minute courtship by Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe and what it means for the District’s deal and development along the Anacostia.
