The following is an opportunity to build a true Track Town USA. The Washington Commanders are leaving Fed EX field and developers are looking to tear down the stadium and build mixed use sporting facilities. That is a HUGE piece of land with parking.
You can do a brand new Hayward Field style stadium there and attach a brand new banked indoor track and still build new apartments and retail stores. Maybe even a retractable roof for the track stadium. The ideas are endless.

To keep it at Franklin Field you have to go up. Raise the field to expand the surface. New found space, infrastructure underneath. Seating above easier to add. A retrofit with structural reinforcement.
