Now that D.C. United is under new ownership, city and team leaders said Monday they are ready to talk about building the Major League Soccer team a new stadium on Poplar Point.

Early in 2006, the District closed the deal to build the Washington Nationals’ new ballpark, a $611 million project that proved divisive for the city and its leaders. Now the city government has started talks for yet another arena, this one to house D.C. United on the federally owned 110-acre site in Ward 8.
