Washington Commanders plan $3.7 billion RFK Stadium revival by 2030

The Washington Commanders have announced plans to build a new, world-class stadium on the historic RFK Stadium site in Washington, D.C., aiming for completion by 2030. Renderings reveal a futuristic design with a glass dome and a west-facing façade that offers unobstructed views of the U.S. Capitol, symbolizing a cultural reset for both the franchise and the city. The estimated $2.7 billion stadium investment by the Commanders is expected to be a catalyst for economic growth and community revitalization, with partial public funding covering the remaining costs. Team owner Josh Harris and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser emphasized the project's potential to revive the legacy of RFK Stadium and improve the team's chances of hosting high-profile events such as the Super Bowl. The return to D.C. follows the passing of a Congressional bill allowing the redevelopment of the RFK site, and addresses longstanding infrastructure issues at the team's current Maryland venue. The move has been met with enthusiasm from fans, recalling the team's past successes at RFK and the promise of a new era for the franchise.
