Prince George's County Executive Jack Johnson has asked the Metro subway system to sell land the transit agency owns in Landover for use as a new soccer stadium for D.C. United.
In a letter sent Tuesday, Johnson said the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission would like to construct offices at the Morgan Boulevard subway station site as well as a D.C. United facility.
Johnson said the team, the county and the commission believe a stadium at the Metro station could drive economic development. D.C. United has said it wants to move from 48-year-old RFK Stadium to a new 24,0000-seat facility in Prince George's County.
