space, remember, this isn't exactly an expansion. it's a serious upgrade. for the 6,000 daily passengers that now have to board commuter planes out in the elements, this puts a roof over their heads and give the planes dedicated spots. jack potter says now is the time to make the situation better. >> we have to accommodate people who travel through this airport in a very comfortable environment. >> another huge change talked about today, the new security screening area that will be built between the metro station and the arrivals and departures area. 150,000 square feet of new space. that will put the main hall of reagan behind security, meaning you'll no longer be able to walk in and hang out here, but space for those waiting for someone to get on or off a flight is being built in the new security area, and new shops and restaurants will likely also be added. >> i wanted to thank you all for all that you have done. >> at a board meeting

>> we have been hearing opening starters named around the league. we're waiting for the nats. being an opening day starter isn't a matter of critical importance, but it does mean something, at least to the guy on the mound. max scherzer has been the guy for the last two seasons. it appears that strauss brger is getting the nod again. pretty cool when you think he ended last year on the disabled list. hope he can stay lethe. as for max scherzer, an mri confirms he is completely healthy. ring finger with stress fracture is healed. today, making his spring debut, facing the cardinals. he lasted 4 2/3. throws 73 pitches. allowed 5 hits, 2 runs 4 strikeouts. scherzer late to jump to cover first. runner safe. but max keeps his cool and throws home and gets the out there. first game back, ready to move on from the finger storyline. >> yeah, it's fine. finger is good. >> able to throw normal grip? >> yeah, finger

finger. i'm basing it on starting the season at the regular time, and i really shouldn't miss a turn in the rotation. so considering where i was at and coming in to spring training to not have to go to the dl, that's a huge feat. >> with the timing, he'll probably get to start in the third game. as for the wizards, they cannot lose tonight. they know this. you can see it in their eyes. the laser focus. as they go through the motions at shoot around this morning. they're hosting the hawks. they have lost four straight while the wizards have lost two in a row, with the conference leading cavaliers in the wings, and a four-game trip out west around the corner, they need to switch gears and fast. >> tough weekend for us. i mean, tough march for us. a lot of away games. we have to take care of the business, and the games. >> yes, they do.

in sports, we like to throw around the term trap game. oh, it's 8:00 tonight. 7:00 in my notes. tip at 8:00 tonight. in sports, we like to throw around the term trap game. it's what you call an easy game before the one with the big rival. a game that's easily overlooked. not easy. and never before i have ever used the word trap game to describe any round in the big dance, but the maryland women admit it, they have to be wary as they're one win away from facing uconn. >> our first team we have to go through is oregon. >> you start looking ahead, you're going to forget about the present moment. it might sound cliche to take it one game or a time, but we need mean it. >> is there extra focus on oregon knowing that's the first hurdle? >> i think our team is very focused and would love to have that opportunity. and as competitors to be able to

recognizing and understanding the fact if you don't win the game at hand, there won't be another game to play. >> brenda telling me this is her favorite time of year, march nadness, craziness, lack of sleep and preparing for the next opponent. from college park, sherry burress, news 4 sports. 12th head coach in the history of commonwealth of virginia university, mike gross. >> a big day at bcu as mike gross returns to the rams. he's coming from rice, but for five seasons prior, he served as a bcu assistant. based on tweets from former players, rhodes left a lasting impression. you can tell from his words, as he was talking today, how much the players mean to him as well. so he is just so excited. says he's coming back home. >> pretty good program. >> yeah. >> so we wish him well. and good luck. talk about laser

brenda. >> she's laser focused. >> one win away. see you at 11:00.
