Is it too early to say touchdown?
The Washington Commanders unveiled the first renderings of what they plan to build on the old RFK Stadium site in D.C. on Thursday.
It appears as though it will feature a domed top — something D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and fans have long clamored for.
A release put out Thursday describes it as a “dynamic, year-round destination for sports, entertainment and community engagement, integrating sustainable design practices and reimagining the f an experience through immersive space.”
“The roofed stadium will be a dynamic, year-round destination for sports, entertainment and community engagement, integrating sustainable design practices and reimagining the fan experience through immersive spaces,” according to a news release.
“We are proud to share the first visuals of our future stadium, a defining milestone in the next phase of the development process,” team president Mark Clouse said in a news release. He added that the design “truly embodies the spirit and character of the District.”
The Commanders selected HKS, a Dallas, Texas-based architecture and design firm, as the lead architect for the team’s new stadium in November.
Construction is expected to be completed in 2030 and It’s supposed to accommodate 70,000 people when it’s done.
