Still not convinced this is part of Oxon Hill, along the Potomac River in Prince George’s County? A particularly diligent reader went the extra mile and juxtaposed the rendering with Google Earth images, which make the location of Interstate-295 and the Blue Plains wastewater treatment plant more clear.

Though it’s still difficult to be entirely precise, this location isn’t part of National Harbor, the waterfront development that features a bevy of condos, apartments, shops, a Ferris Wheel and a waterfront boardwalk. It’s north of there, on mostly forested national parkland around Oxon Cove Park and the site of Oxon Hill Farm. The 289-acre farm property has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2003 and offers educational programs, tours and a visitor’s barn with children’s activities. Perhaps that could work alongside Bjarke Ingels Group’s concept for a moat for kayakers and surfers?

A spokeswoman for the Peterson Cos., developer of National Harbor, said she hadn’t heard anything about an NFL stadium there. A spokeswoman for the architect said “the new stadium has no location yet.”

So what gives? Both Gov. Larry Hogan (R) and Prince George’s County Executive Rushern L. Baker III have vowed to try keeping the team, although lately they sure aren’t seeing eye to eye when it comes to building and running a hospital nearby. Baker’s spokesman declined to comment and a spokesperson for the Maryland Department of Commerce declined comment.

If Hogan and Baker do work together on a stadium plan they may well run into the same issue D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser encountered in trying to advance plans to build a new stadium at the site of RFK, which is that park service land is controlled by the Interior Department, whose current secretary doesn’t think much of the team’s name. Hogan and Baker would seemingly face the same concern.
