From a washingtonpost.com chat with Kevin Payne, CEO and President of DC United:
Frederick, Md.: There has been some speculation on a name change for DCU. This got even more muddied during the press conference. Can you reassure some of us that you will keep United under the same name.
Kevin Payne: We have no intention of changing the most recognized name in American soccer. We have always thought of ourselves as a regional team — the fact we have season ticket holders from so many states proves that point! We will be very much a part of the community in Prince George’s County, but we will be D.C. United.
That was something I was wondering, I half expected them to become F.C. (Football Club) United.
