"I'm sure that our good friends in Washington and Virginia are eager to either attract them or keep them and Prince George's County is ready for the game," said David Iannucci, Head of Economic Development for Prince George's County. "We've met with the Redskins, and a team with the Maryland Stadium Authority and Prince George's County has met with the Redskins, has interviewed them, and had a tour of their facility."
Iannucci said the county owns land near Bowie State University that would be ideal for a new team headquarters and training complex. He also said the deal to bring the Redskins to Landover 14 years ago had important strings attached.
"Under the 30-year lease that the Redskins have with Prince George's County, Prince George's County is owed the right of first refusal should the Redskins think about relocating their training facility. And the county has essentially said we intend to exercise that right," Iannucci explained.
