Apparently the DC United group

has no intention of replying to the Poplar Point RFEI that DC Government released for the Poplar Point property. Since when does "mixed use" mean athletic stadium, as it seems to in discussions by Councilmember Marion Barry. (Note that one of CM Barry's former chiefs of staff now works for McFarlane Partners, owners of DC United.) See "MacFarlane Criticizes Fenty's Office Over Stadium Talks," from the Post.

(Also see this article from the San Francisco Business Times about Mr. McFarlane, "Urban Pioneer.")
