		ARLINGTON, Va. - A majority of Arlington County residents support a baseball stadium in the county's Pentagon City area, according to a poll commissioned by stadium supporters.
		Responders were asked if they supported an Arlington County stadium if it were located in Pentagon City and if a conference center and Little League field were included in the project and if "no taxes from Arlington citizens or Virginia citizens were used" to pay for the project.
		But Sarah Summerville, an Arlington resident who is a leading opponent of a northern Virginia stadium, said the poll's findings are meaningless because of the way the question was asked and the fact that the polling took place in January, before the county began a serious debate about a stadium's merits.
