Washington Commanders Unveil First Look at New Stadium Seating Bowl
The design adds a continuous bowl, larger lower-level capacity and a fan section meant to amplify crowd noise, the team said.
- On Wednesday, the Washington Commanders and architecture firm HKS unveiled new stadium renderings showcasing a continuous seating bowl designed to recreate the loud, intimate atmosphere of the historic RFK Stadium.
- The Commanders and Washington, D.C. agreed last year to construct the facility on the site of the former RFK Stadium, where the team played from 1961 to 1996, in a project with a total investment of nearly $4 billion.
- HKS partner Mark Williams described the design as a "unified seating bowl" that eliminates stacked premium levels to keep fans close to the action, with capacity for approximately 65,000 and a dedicated "Wall of Fans."
- Commanders Team President Mark Clouse said the stadium's innovative acoustics and roof design aim to maximize crowd energy, creating "one of the loudest environments in sports" while reflecting the pride of the District.
- Expected to open in 2030, the stadium will anchor a 180-acre mixed-use campus featuring housing, green space, and a sportsplex along the Anacostia River.
