Overview

  • The Commanders released the interior renderings Wednesday, giving the public the first detailed look at the seating bowl, end-zone fan wall and roof design.
  • HKS, the lead architect, says the "unified seating bowl" will provide continuous sightlines from field level to the upper deck and reduce obstructed views.
  • The project remains financed primarily by the team with a $2.7 billion contribution plus roughly $1.1 billion in public funds and revenue tools such as seat-rights and personal seat licenses.
  • The stadium will sit at the center of a 180-acre mixed-use campus that includes housing, commercial space and parks and is projected to produce about $4 billion in tax revenue.
  • Construction is targeted to begin in 2027 for a roofed, 65,000–70,000-seat venue opening in 2030, but city approvals, final permitting and transit planning for game-day access are still unresolved.
