The Washington Commanders have released new renderings showcasing the design of their future $4 billion, 70,000-seat stadium that is set to open in 2030. The new domed stadium will be located on the site of the old RFK Memorial Stadium in Washington, D.C. and feature an exterior design inspired by the city's famous monuments. Construction on the stadium is scheduled to begin in 2027 after the demolition of the existing RFK Stadium, which has sat vacant for the past 30 years.

Why it matters

It is expected to host over 200 events per year and be eligible to host the Super Bowl due to its domed design.
