Further Signs of a Bum Economy

After being forced to postpone the match against the Houston Dynamo not once, but twice, last night's game featured a two-hour rain/lightning/power outage delay/other power outage delay. Last night was the third (and fourth) time in as many weeks that the power has gone out at RFK Stadium, making the team's "Blackout" PR push more literal than the front office would like.

To restart the match, the field had to be squeegeed.

With Mayor Fenty's tacit refusal to commit to building a soccer-specific stadium, I'm starting to think that keeping DC United playing at RFK is an innovative new jobs-for-the homeless measure.
