Headline in this week's Washington Business Journal: "Big question for ballpark: What view will fans have?" Could it be? Someone is actually concerned about the fact that new stadiums leave fans farther from the field than old ones?

Get real. What the article actually said:

After deciding to put the stadium at a South Capitol Street location, officials are now wondering: What backdrop should fans see when they look out over the field?

City and team officials, and architects are considering two options: a northeast orientation that puts the Capitol in view and a southeast orientation that provides a view of the Anacostia waterfront.
