Stadium Building: With or Without Eminent Domain

D.C. needs a stadium home for D.C. United. Its futbol, or what the world, except for the U.S., calls football.  D.C. has a property swap in mind, but hesitancy in D.C. leadership leads to speculation of eminent domain.

Speculators surmise that eminent domain would be more costly (lots of lawyers) and would take more time than to purchase or swap land to build a stadium. [Soccer America]
