They will want a mega stadium with a doom and free tax payer money to pay for it. Never mind they’re are only so money Final Four and SB events to go around. People are still stupid enough to vote for these things.
You would have to build around it to draw people in. I don’t see that happening unless they make the shopping mall and stores around small. A perfect spot is near the MGM
Once RFK Stadium is demolished, the Washington Commanders will partner with Events DC to build their brand-new $1.95 billion 85,000-seat state-of-the-art retractable-roof stadium at RFK site, which will open for the 2027 NFL season.
I don't see the DC voters approving a publicly funded stadium.. And with the crazy inflation and how expensive everything is in DC, no way a state of the art domed stadium will cost only 1.95 billion However, DC politics are so shady that a backdoor deal using some public funds might happen smh
The team has already said that it’s going to be pushed out past 2027. Also, 85k is wayyyyyy too many seats for a team that can barely fill its own 60,000 seat stadium (with mostly away fans).
We want them to return to DC at the RFK site and change the name back to Redskins!! doing both of those would bring SO MANY fans back! especially with new ownership and Dan Snyder gone, and the draft we just had, there's a TON of hype around this team now!
Forgot about the past , new team, younger fan base, different owner, different players, and it will be a different stadium 🏟️. Get over the past you can’t bring pack the pass,you sound like MAGA.
It makes sense for the Commanders to return to DC. FedEx field is a sewage treatment plant or dumpsite. Maryland should just focus on the Ravens. While it is lucrative to have both teams in the state, the traffic and facilties upkeep are nightmares.
@@user-ik7xy9hs9u yea the fans will; but im sure the residents who live around the stadium wont along with other taxpayers who’d have to fund the building. Dc is already expensive asf to begin with. Now they wanna build a new stadium there to make it damn near impossible to live?? Home is just becoming too cramped. And the mayor and city council have made the streets smaller by installing more bike lanes and pedestrian crosswalk medians and decreasing the speed limit to 20mph AND putting up and maintaining speeding cameras IN THE CITY. So yea not a good idea to build a multi billion dollar stadium in the city with all i just said that has happened
Id rather see them do something creative with natural lighting. The translucent roof is becoming the cookie cutter cop out. Something unique like US Bank Stadium would be better.
@@91_C4_FL they should go with what Buffalo is doing, keep it open air but protect the fans. Players can still play in the snow fans can get some cover.
Access and parking are major impediments to using the RFK site. They have the space for parking garages and the roadways that can be widened for highway access. Politically it is a difficult sale in a city generally opposed to the automobile.
I guess everyone forgot about how GOD-AWFUL the traffic situation was like on gamedays around the RFK stadium area. Traffic and parking was like two of fhe top 5 reasons for leaving this site in the first place.
I was there quite often with my Uncle, and TRUST me the traffic getting out of FedEx field is WORSE. I worked there for 10 years, and even 4 hours after the game the traffic was STILL backed up and dreadful!
but I think because we were already at the RFK site once before, they'll take all of that into account when they plan the new stadium. Parking is already a problem at FedEx field too anyway so im sure parking will be a top priority with the new stadium.
What do you mean you guess there may be a renovation of Cap 1 for the Wiz and Caps? The city and ownership agreed to a deal almost two months ago and they had a signing showcase. Research Research smh
The RFK site would be a great place for a new stadium. There's also room between Nats Park and Audi Field at the Navy Yard for a football stadium. Either would be better than the crap fest formerly known as FedEx.
Nah, the inner loop of the NOVA beltway could afford a one time tax in cash 🤑 however they just can't take anymore traffic, so send it to Nat Harbour the new Oxon Hill.
Yea they already got approved for waldorf this video pointless lmao rfk is not gonna be turned into a new stadium 9 times outta 10 itll be a shopping center or a new zone for the gentrified residents to gawk over😭
DC will never give Josh Harris the kind of dough he needs to build a new stadium so forget that. Also the old name is never coming back so get that pipe dream out of your heads.
i remember watching them build this stadium from my hospital bed across the street. went their many times to watch the senators and redskins. saw charlie taylor catch a touchdown pass over charlie water's head in the '72 championship game. saw o j simpson race down the sidelines for a long touchdown run on a very cold afternoon. witnessed many frank howard long-distance homeruns. camilo pascual's unbelievable curveballs. joined thousands of fans in booing joe pepitone whenever he came to bat. and, along with thousands of others, stood and applauded for a full five minutes when willie mays came to bat at the '69 mlb all star game. lots of memories.
I’m guessing they would have to restructure the roads surrounding the new stadium because as it stands now, the RFK site is really too small for a new state of the art stadium facility. They would definitely have to expand the site.
Can Neo RFK Stadium be rebuilt for the National Football League’s Washington Commanders(Redskins), Major League Rugby's Old Glory DC, and United Football League's DC Defenders since the original RFK Stadium and FedEx Field gets demolished in 2026-2030?
No. Waldorf and va are the only places teams are looking towards. Currently the nats wanna leave and so do the caps💯 commanders are going to waldorf its already public info and as for the soccer team idk if anyone cares where they go💀
With the way, traffic is in DC. They may lose fans and of course the stadium cannot be as big as FedEx Field because there’s not enough space. And definitely not enough parking. They may lose fans.
Thank you! Capital One Arena has a parking garage underground and some other parking garages nearby. Same with Nationals Park. Its a parking garage attached to the stadium and mainly ppl ride the metro to the games or get an uber or lyft. Pretty sure its the same setup for Audi Field. The only way this thing will work is to build 3-4 levels of parking in an underground parking garage and have the stadium sit on top. But can u imagine being buried behind countless cars and having to wait more than 3 hrs just to get out of the garage and onto the highway to get home??? Not a good idea and a new stadium should be built right near the national harbour
Maryland has already set aside over 400 million but with new ownership they're willing to give more money. Plus they already own the land and have zoning, My money is on building in Maryland at the current site which has room to build a stadium while playing at the former fed ex field.
A lot of history at RFK It’s sad to see these old-places go, but football-stadiums need to be Disneyfied these days & be 1/2 amusement-park, 1/2 football-stadium.
It’s all because the cities don’t have shit to do. That’s the only source of entertainment for the people there. That’s why in places like SoCal we don’t need all these bells and whistles. We are happy either way simple stadiums. We have plenty of other shit to do. We go to baseball stadiums to get away from the everyday life stuff. We go to watch the games not to beer gardens or Ferris wheels. We have plenty of those at amusement parks or the local park
Today's fans need an "upscale entertainment experience" and given gourmet food options. I remember when the actual game was the entertainment, and you grabbed a hot dog & a beer. If it was cold, you wore a heavy jacket. Today's "fans" (recipients of corporate freebie tix) are as soft as the players. The days of NFL dominance over US popular culture will end one day, and it can't come soon enough.
@@TheOldTapeArchive couldn’t have said this better. Yes, the game used to be the attraction. At Angel Stadium, it still is. And I might venture to say it’s also that way at Petco and even Doyer Stadium. A hot dog and beer is all we need to keep us happy. We could care less about anything else.
not a commanders fan, but I would love for them to return to DC. By them having already built a town center right down the block it could bring in even more jobs for the citizens of the our city plus creating a mixed use development area. Metro is the number one advantage for the stadium. Not all true long term Washington fans have cars to drive to va or md to see a game. SO yes, I am in favor of them bringing the football team back to the people of DC....
I’m not even a Commanders fan. My Grandfather was, and I have family down there. This is the only spot they should build a new stadium. It’s tradition for that fan base. Politics just mess everything up. Agreed, it’s not an ideal neighborhood anymore, but those fans are tired of that ridiculous trek up 95. A lot of them switched over to the Ravens already!
To me it’ll be like fedex field 2.0 only it’ll be a bunch of homes, a jail, dc armory, a high school, metro, and the fields playground all around the new stadium. Where will additional parking be? It will be hell going on that 295 interchange to get to the highway. Theres no bars or restaurants near the stadium either. Then the traffic patterns on city streets is horrible. The city council and idiot mayor recently have had ddot install pedestrian crosswalk medians and more bike lanes which is mayor bowser’s vision zero initiative to make traffic slower and prevent pedestrians from getting struck and killed by cars. So the streets have gotten strunk. Then its countless speed cameras around the city with a 20-25mph speed limit. So yea it’ll be real genius to build a new stadium with all that going on in just mention
Because there was no action taken on the Going-Commandos leaving Landover and coming back to a new 60-odd-K park in town, Washington DC, a natural site for the 2026 World Cup site selection committee, got snubbed. On top of which, they chose Arrowhead, another stadium you discuss as needing replacement along with next-door Kauffman.
The funny thing about all this -- and i speak as someone who has spent his whole adult life in DC, is that the Cowboys have as many fans here as the Commanders do. It's pretty close to 50/50 it seems.
@@kibitznec700 that about half of the people who by virtue of living in DC will be contributing to the building of the stadium thru their local tax dollars don't like the team they are paying for at all, and in fact like that team's main rival. Snyder really did a number on the team he bought, he chipped its legend down to practically nothing lol
Simply not true. The team has been bad for a long time, and Snyder made a lot of people sour on attending games. My brother lives in Texas. There are MANY Commanders fans there as well. Neither is 50/50. This team gets back on track, it'll be a different story.
Yes there's a metro there and I would love to see the team back in DC. But traffic on 295 would be terrible. It would have to be widened by at least 2 lanes to accommodate that many cars.
Research Research!! Knocking down RFK has no effect on building a new stadium. The new stadium is not going to where RFK was located. The new stadium would be closer to the river and by the jail which actually with the trail built on the waterfront would put the stadium closer to Nat's Stadium. Where RFK is located is going to be either ball fields or retail. There were no delays because of the ownership change, Dan wanted a free stadium and that was never going to happen.
But at the same time Washington D.C or the Public isn't getting a free stadium either. So just got 50/50 of private and public to get this stadium done
No one knows where a new stadium would go. Could be RFK site, could be somewhere in Maryland, could be virginia, heck could move to a different area of the country. Wonder if they could renovate and expand Audi Field
As someone who lives in the DMV area they will not let another stadium be built there because what happened with nationals park. It pushed a lot of low income families and houses out with no where to go. All the footprint isn’t big enough for parking plus there’s no bars in the area let alone places to really shop. They’re going to turn it into another park or buildings for at risk youth. Trust me. I’m still surprised the caps and wiz deal actually got done with dc. But there’s no modern infrastructure in the area as far as using it for other events. Like capital is in china town tons of shops and bars many things to do. Nationals park they built tons of apartments and retail and can support the stadium year round and keep fans in the area far beyond the end of the game. The RFK site will be hard pressed to do so especially with alot of low income housing in-the area that would have to be bought out and they’re already pissed about most of dc becoming “gentrified”
I'd rather watch a game in a 60 year old RFK rotting shell than in another generic dome. Take the elements out of the NFL, and the league will turn into a glorified arena football league.
Live n central Virginia love rfk hope they go back to sight I quit buying season three years ago not going to watch n person sixty one years old not wasting no love my redskins to I die
I live in the DC area . I guarantee there will be zero public funds for a football staudium/dome in DC. All is all, its not just DC but with all of the inflation and economic uncertainty these days I think the general sentiment nationwide is no public funds for billionaires
@@sirchi8731 Naw, the tide is changing.. The general public is sick and tired of paying for stadiums to make billionaires wealthier. The last 4 or 5 proposals nationwide to use taxpayer $$$ to finance a new stadium got turned down by public vote
@@ousamaabdu794 The general public has no power in this deal. The people who control DC's purse strings have power. OF COURSE it will be publicly funded. No general public based challenge to this is possible, or would ever succeed. The money involved in that 2 way transaction between the team and the DC purse strings buys BOTH parties in that transaction tons of insulation from your so called "general public". You;re in for a rude awakening because what you are saying won't be how the new stadium is funded IS IN FACT PRECISELY how the new stadium will be funded. OR THERE WILL BE NO NEW STADIUM IN DC. You have it almost, even more than almost, like COMPLETELY wrong. The "general public" gets no say in this deal.
@@sirchi8731 49ers, Rams paid for their own buildings, Hawks paid for most of theirs. The days of handouts appear to be over. Chiefs fans just voted no and they won a SB. So people are waking up. They will still get some funds and make it so there will be no public vote. They will come up with a creative way to get around a vote.
No Washington, DC football stadium should have a roof...and either change the name BACK to "Redskins", or just name 'em the HOGS. After all, what IS DC but a political "trough" or PORK BARREL? The reason why the NFL venue needs to be open to the element is simple...once it rains, which of course, it DOES a LOT in October and November, any grass field becomes a MUD PIT, and the "Hogs" are in their ELEMENT, UNBEATABLE.
To me, Washington’s football team will ALWAYS be the “REDSKINS” the name Commanders is WAY TOO LAME and NEEDS to be changed back to the RIGHTFUL name REDSKINS!!!!!!
Just wished this had happened sooner. It is a embarrassment the national capital was left off the 2026 world cup list bc there is no Fifa approved stadium. Only two other times did this happen in history, Germany 1974 & Japan 2002. As a DC resident I've never met any one who had something positive to say about the Redskins/Washington FC/Commanders ownership.
Im from Washington DC and i just have one question: if they do build a new stadium for the REDSKINS (Not calling them the commanders smh) where would they make extra parking? Theres this new multi use area adjacent to RFK called: The Fields. So basically its a playground area for kids, a soccer field, mini football field, tennis court, and basketball court all next to each other. Before they redeveloped that space, it was nothing but parking space for RFK. DC is small enough as it is. And check this, DC jail is close by RFK; however last time i was home, the city was building new condos right across the street from the Jail. Maybe they will build a nice sized underground parking garage like the Superdome has because like i said, there wont be enough room for parking lots.
Metro been upgrading or atleast trying to upgrade since 2000 🤣. Im from Washington dc and lemme tell u, theres ALWAYS track work needing to be done which means trains have to single track. So that right there will also cause more delays and have large volumes of people just lingering around tryna get outta there after the game
They shouldn’t build here but they should demolish the old stadium and make it a grave site for the Redskins name and franchise. The Commanders can take the name and uniforms with them when they move to VA or even better to Mexico City.
It’s the right call… the site is already set up for a stadium… RFK is ready to be torn down. There is a metro line right there.
Yes make a new Seattle like Stadium at RFK
They will want a mega stadium with a doom and free tax payer money to pay for it. Never mind they’re are only so money Final Four and SB events to go around. People are still stupid enough to vote for these things.

The funny thing about all this -- and i speak as someone who has spent his whole adult life in DC, is that the Cowboys have as many fans here as the Commanders do. It's pretty close to 50/50 it seems.
it's not
theres way more washinton fans but the reason it feels like that is because weve been bad for like 30 years
And what krajo that has to do with the main topic here
@@kibitznec700 that about half of the people who by virtue of living in DC will be contributing to the building of the stadium thru their local tax dollars don't like the team they are paying for at all, and in fact like that team's main rival. Snyder really did a number on the team he bought, he chipped its legend down to practically nothing lol
Simply not true. The team has been bad for a long time, and Snyder made a lot of people sour on attending games. My brother lives in Texas. There are MANY Commanders fans there as well. Neither is 50/50.
This team gets back on track, it'll be a different story.
Not a bad idea demolish rfk and rebuild new stadium right where it is their is even metro light rail their.
Washington new stadium 🏟️ they build it at ex RFK stadium site for real 🤔🧐
That site would be far more profitable if it was used for a mixed residential/commercial use than for a stadium
Land is very tight and expensive in DC
NO
Waste of money
Too much traffic congestion smh
Metro
it would be fire name it Gibbs field!
Yes there's a metro there and I would love to see the team back in DC. But traffic on 295 would be terrible. It would have to be widened by at least 2 lanes to accommodate that many cars.
Bad idea
Let the tax payers of DC flipped the Bill you want it you got it.
Well hell,maybe the woke,and liberal groups should design it so nobody gets butt hurt!
That's where they Belong!! HTTR!
Research Research!! Knocking down RFK has no effect on building a new stadium. The new stadium is not going to where RFK was located. The new stadium would be closer to the river and by the jail which actually with the trail built on the waterfront would put the stadium closer to Nat's Stadium. Where RFK is located is going to be either ball fields or retail. There were no delays because of the ownership change, Dan wanted a free stadium and that was never going to happen.
But at the same time Washington D.C or the Public isn't getting a free stadium either. So just got 50/50 of private and public to get this stadium done
@@sirchi8731 wth does that have to do with what I said? Who said DC was getting a free stadium??
@@teeerealsirrdee or should I say the public wanta a free stadium...owners want a free stadium..logic says to go 50/50. Correct?
@sirchi8731 again WTH does that have to do with what I said???
No one knows where a new stadium would go. Could be RFK site, could be somewhere in Maryland, could be virginia, heck could move to a different area of the country. Wonder if they could renovate and expand Audi Field
As someone who lives in the DMV area they will not let another stadium be built there because what happened with nationals park. It pushed a lot of low income families and houses out with no where to go. All the footprint isn’t big enough for parking plus there’s no bars in the area let alone places to really shop. They’re going to turn it into another park or buildings for at risk youth. Trust me. I’m still surprised the caps and wiz deal actually got done with dc. But there’s no modern infrastructure in the area as far as using it for other events. Like capital is in china town tons of shops and bars many things to do. Nationals park they built tons of apartments and retail and can support the stadium year round and keep fans in the area far beyond the end of the game. The RFK site will be hard pressed to do so especially with alot of low income housing in-the area that would have to be bought out and they’re already pissed about most of dc becoming “gentrified”
Damn, Harris spending money like he's Bezos.
Bruh outdoor stadiums also have year-round use 😂 who cares about superbowls or final fours?
We are done with contract with FedEx by 2027 so we better find something better than that sh#thole soon.
ANOTHER TRANSLUCENT ROOF! SHOCKER
Yeah
I'd rather watch a game in a 60 year old RFK rotting shell than in another generic dome. Take the elements out of the NFL, and the league will turn into a glorified arena football league.
Change the name to redwolves...let the fans in it!!😮
Does anyone really think Josh Harris will make Redskins a winner ex Sixers Devils both losers
If the Braves and Chiefs do not need to change their names then the DC team to me is still the Redskins.
Live n central Virginia love rfk hope they go back to sight I quit buying season three years ago not going to watch n person sixty one years old not wasting no love my redskins to I die
Great news now bring back the Redskins name.
Don't see that happening anytime soon.
They took my team away. Stadiums are irrelevant without a team and identity. HTTR
Return of the Redskins
I live in the DC area . I guarantee there will be zero public funds for a football staudium/dome in DC.
All is all, its not just DC but with all of the inflation and economic uncertainty these days I think the general sentiment nationwide is no public funds for billionaires
Then your not getting a mew stadium. Public funds is always used. Sorry bro. Don't end up with 0 teams
@@sirchi8731 Naw, the tide is changing.. The general public is sick and tired of paying for stadiums to make billionaires wealthier. The last 4 or 5 proposals nationwide to use taxpayer $$$ to finance a new stadium got turned down by public vote
Money talks. Of course public funding is on the table. You must be thinking that the DC local government serves the population of DC.
@@ousamaabdu794 The general public has no power in this deal. The people who control DC's purse strings have power. OF COURSE it will be publicly funded. No general public based challenge to this is possible, or would ever succeed. The money involved in that 2 way transaction between the team and the DC purse strings buys BOTH parties in that transaction tons of insulation from your so called "general public". You;re in for a rude awakening because what you are saying won't be how the new stadium is funded IS IN FACT PRECISELY how the new stadium will be funded. OR THERE WILL BE NO NEW STADIUM IN DC. You have it almost, even more than almost, like COMPLETELY wrong. The "general public" gets no say in this deal.
@@sirchi8731 49ers, Rams paid for their own buildings, Hawks paid for most of theirs. The days of handouts appear to be over. Chiefs fans just voted no and they won a SB. So people are waking up. They will still get some funds and make it so there will be no public vote. They will come up with a creative way to get around a vote.
Jack Kent Cooke stadium.
Naw go back to new RFK or JFK stadium.
@@scotttild It was first named DC stadium and changed after RFK was killed..
No Washington, DC football stadium should have a roof...and either change the name BACK to "Redskins", or just name 'em the HOGS. After all, what IS DC but a political "trough" or PORK BARREL? The reason why the NFL venue needs to be open to the element is simple...once it rains, which of course, it DOES a LOT in October and November, any grass field becomes a MUD PIT, and the "Hogs" are in their ELEMENT, UNBEATABLE.
No, Commoders! Redskins.
Done deal..right there...😮
To me, Washington’s football team will ALWAYS be the “REDSKINS” the name Commanders is WAY TOO LAME and NEEDS to be changed back to the RIGHTFUL name REDSKINS!!!!!!
HTTR
Last time I saw the Skins it was in RFK.
I prefer Washington redskins
Just wished this had happened sooner. It is a embarrassment the national capital was left off the 2026 world cup list bc there is no Fifa approved stadium. Only two other times did this happen in history, Germany 1974 & Japan 2002. As a DC resident I've never met any one who had something positive to say about the Redskins/Washington FC/Commanders ownership.
Won’t be the same.
The real long time commanders fans would love to have the football team back in NE/SE DC.
Im from Washington DC and i just have one question: if they do build a new stadium for the REDSKINS (Not calling them the commanders smh) where would they make extra parking? Theres this new multi use area adjacent to RFK called: The Fields. So basically its a playground area for kids, a soccer field, mini football field, tennis court, and basketball court all next to each other. Before they redeveloped that space, it was nothing but parking space for RFK. DC is small enough as it is. And check this, DC jail is close by RFK; however last time i was home, the city was building new condos right across the street from the Jail. Maybe they will build a nice sized underground parking garage like the Superdome has because like i said, there wont be enough room for parking lots.
If they build it in DC, metro better upgrade their trains to handle the traffic. Their trains now are super sketchy.
Metro been upgrading or atleast trying to upgrade since 2000 🤣. Im from Washington dc and lemme tell u, theres ALWAYS track work needing to be done which means trains have to single track. So that right there will also cause more delays and have large volumes of people just lingering around tryna get outta there after the game
The r name is dead to much pc
The Redskins definitely need a new stadium
U people who want the name to go back to redskins. It’s not happening !! NFL will not allow. Just a nickname not that important.
They shouldn’t build here but they should demolish the old stadium and make it a grave site for the Redskins name and franchise. The Commanders can take the name and uniforms with them when they move to VA or even better to Mexico City.
