Something is stirring in Washington, D.C. Wide-eyed professional football fans are looking forward to their first playoffs win in a decade. Super Bowl chatter fills the air. Locals keep shouting “You like that!” for no good reason. Yes, folks are still trying to make the ‘Skins happen.

None more so than team owner Dan Snyder. After spending years carving seats out of FedEx Field, he’s looking to pull out of Landover, Maryland, for greener pastures. Now Sports Business Daily reports that Bjarke Ingels Group, the Danish architecture firm, will design a new stadium for the Washington football team.
