D.C. United is in advanced talks with Loudoun County about building practice fields, offices and a 5,000-seat stadium for a lower-tier team at Philip A. Bolen Park in Leesburg, Va.
If a deal is reached, the county would provide land for the facilities and approximately $15 million in financing for construction, including a stadium to serve a United-owned team in the second-division United Soccer League.
Under the proposal, the team would repay the county for the cost of constructing the facilities — “a win for our finances and for our residents,” said Dulles District supervisor Matthew F.
