part of the reason is that it’s much easier for international fans if the game is on one of the coasts. That being said, they couldn’t leave all of middle America out so they chose Kansas City which is close to the geographically center of the contiguous US

Apparently Metro did a study which showed express service would only save about 7 min from Dulles to downtown.

Something that can be done now would be to increase Metro’s top speed from 59mph to 75 mph. This would help a lot on the silver line because it runs in highway medians for so long. The operating speed was lowered after a near-fatal incident.
