D.C. United starts beating Baltimore drum

There's been much chatter this week about a possible D.C. United move to Baltimore, with team president Kevin Payne telling the Washington Post it's "potentially a fairly clean deal because there is a developer, there is available land and there's the Maryland Stadium Authority."

It's also pretty premature, as the stadium authority's economic feasibility study isn't even due out until September. And at last word, the mayor of Baltimore still had no idea how a soccer-only stadium would be paid for. So think of the United-to-Baltimore rumors as more of a preview for the coming fall entertainment season.
