Potomac Nationals baseball stadium fails to go to November referendum

A proposal to send the Potomac Nationals stadium deal to the voters failed on a tie vote.

The Prince William County Board of Supervisors voted to kill a plan to place a stadium referendum on the November ballot after midnight Wednesday, following nearly three hours of discussion. If it had passed, the minor-league team's owner Art Silber threatened to walk out of negotiations and sell the team that has played in Woodbridge since 1984.

Now, county and team officials, and property owner JBG Companies will continue talks about relocating the team from its current home behind the county government center to Stonebridge at Potomac Town Center.
