RFK Stadium

I'm not sure if this question has been asked in the past but it came to mind as I was playing '12. Why isn't RFK stadium in as a classic stadium? The Nationals played a couple seasons there before moving into their new stadium in 2008. Any chance of this being put in a future installment?

It wasn't until 09 with Yankee and Shea that they started leaving old stadiums in. I don't see them putting RFK back in, because there wouldn't seem to be much demand of people wanting to play there. I'd love to see them do more classic stadiums though.

Probably because, as you said, the Nationals only played "a couple" years there. Though the Senators played there for 9, 10 years, something like that, in the '60's. Even so, I don't think I'd call it a "classic" stadium. Old, yes, but I wouldn't think it big enough to be considered a classic, though I'm not from the area so correct me if I'm wrong about the assumption of its impact down there.

Also may be a licensing issue, though I'm not sure how that works with stadiums. I know there's an MLS team playing there, could be that there's something in their lease saying that the stadium can't be represented in the game? Again, not sure how that works.

Also it does take quite a bit of time/work to design these classics, so even if it's an important piece of history there may be other areas the team would rather spend design time on.

And the Olympic Stadium ?
