New renderings illustrate various approaches to Commanders’ D.C. stadium

The Commanders and HKS shared more renderings of the team’s $3.65B D.C. stadium that’s targeted for a 2030 opening.

The renderings, publicized Wednesday evening, illustrate the stadium as it would appear when approached from different directions. They also show how the stadium adheres to D.C’s Monumental Axis requirements, which prevent the city’s governmental and historic monuments from being blocked by large buildings, by dipping in the center.

The venue and extensive mixed-use real estate will be developed on 180 acres at the site of the recently demolished Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, where the Commanders played from the 1960s to mid-1990s. At least 30% of the RFK site will be dedicated to public recreation, outdoor plazas, and green areas along the Anacostia River.

D.C. officials, the Commanders, and HKS have held roughly two dozen meetings with the local community to collect input about the stadium’s design and the broader project. As the process continues, the design will continue to evolve as stakeholder and community feedback is incorporated.

HKS is also actively designing the Browns’ Brook Park stadium and mixed-use development, which opens in the Cleveland suburbs in 2029.
