You Can Never Have Too Many Tennis Stadiums
Both people who read my column from last week asked the same question afterwards:
Why would the city’s new tennis team build a stadium when DC already has a fabulous, huge facility designed just for that purpose at Carter Barron?
Well, here’s why.
To quote my hero, Bob Mould: Makes no sense at all…

So two tennis events per year cause more of an environmental impact than say Stoddert soccer does for hafl of the year and two D.C. recycling days do… methinks, regardless of whatever the original agreement was, that the neighborhood doth protest too much.

I say we play ping-pong all day long inside the park! Yeaaggghhhh!!!!!

I’m kinda of confused. Why would anyone expect one of these Washington Kastles matches to be a “major event”? I imagine the neighborhood around the stadium wouldn’t even notice.

Erm, I think people will “notice” when Anna Kournikova’s in town on July 23rd in a short skirt.
Just a hunch.

Yeah, we’ll see. Anna’s lost a lot of her luster amongst the skeezy older dude-set ever since she reached her early twenties. And nowadays with all these super-vixens tennis players coming out of the Eastern Bloc that can, you know, actually win every once in a while, Anna’s all the less buzz-worthy.
