Florida grad Bill Barnett made his wishes known to his family, telling the Sun: "This way I know that six or seven times a year, my family and friends will say: 'Hey, Bill. How are you?' "

While sports tributes are not unique, I wondered which area venue would be the preferred final resting place for the most passionate of our fans:

RFK Stadium: Favored haunt of many fans of Redskins, Nats, Senators and, of course, D.C. United. Staff may agree to rock movable stands on request.

FedEx Field: Grieving loved ones would have trouble getting there, but tipsy tailgaters will provide lively, if obscenity-filled, sendoff. Of course, club members and suite holders get free burgundy-and-gold urns.

Verizon Center: Please don't ask how many perpetuity programs/options former marketing whiz Susan O'Malley would have concocted. (All-Star Tablet, a resting place under the boards, in the ice?)

Laurel Park: Anything goes at the track. Just pick a spot, until the slots arrive.

Nationals Park:"Pledge your allegiance" for opening-season specials. Naming rights available, as well.

Send your final resting place of choice to me at talkback@washpost.com.
