WMATA exists for the "public necessity andconvenience".In my opinion providing public transportation to sports venues does not fall into the category of 'public necessity'. WMATA spent some bucks upgrading the east entrance to the Navy Yard station to accommodate the spectators going to Nationals Park, however that same entrance is being used daily to accommodate the occupants of the hundreds of thousands of square feet of new commercial and residential development that sprung up around the station.
