"We don't have a long way to go," he said. "They seem to want to treat you right."
Mr. Rychlik, 81, is one of several residential property owners sandwiched between Randol Mill Road and Sanford Street who have received offers for their homes. City officials would not reveal the number of people who have been given offers or the number who have agreed to them.
Because this mix of rent houses and longtime residents is in the stadium "footprint," Arlington officials are making offers there first so construction can begin in spring 2006. Other property owners, whose land will be needed for parking, will receive offers later. The $650 million stadium is scheduled to open in 2009.
