I'm excited that so many people want us to do better than we've done before, ... This stadium is going to be very light and modern and different.

We want people to still be discovering new things about this park in season two,

It poses a dilemma for us because more and more property crimes are occurring. We are making arrests, but people going to the Department of Corrections are not staying very long. Those people are coming back into the community quicker.

We felt D.C. deserved to distinguish itself. Another red brick ballpark would be just like those in other cities.

We wanted something that was of this time and of this place.

From back here, ... you could look up [through an open section in the wall], even if you're outside the stadium, and see the scoreboard.
