- The Washington Commanders opened its 2023 season on Sept. 11 with a home game at aging FedEx Field and WUSA9 has new information about the team’s search for its next home.
Sources say the Commanders front office considered a second D.C. site in its search for a new stadium. One which would be an alternative to historic RFK, and an option never revealed publicly.

Ngl , I would like to see the stadium built in the same architecture style as the Lincoln memorial or something like that. Like with big ass pillars on the outside
When we win the super bowl next year we will be moving in !
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
Poplar Pointe is a great spot! It's right off the river, right off the freeway, and it's right across the river from the baseball stadium! It would be a great view in that spot, too! I'm not sure about parking, but nonetheless, it's perfect! That's a spot where you'd expect to see a stadium. Most other cities have all their stadiums right next to each other, and this would be the same at Poplar Pointe. RFK is cool, too, but it's not a typical spot for a stadium, even though it was there at one point. Poplar Point is right next to downtown SE, and is an area that's already used to high traffic, due to the other two stadiums! It would even be nice if there were enough space to put the basketball and hockey stadium over there as well!
Also a half mile from the Anacostia Metro station. Might be close enough to walk to or see if they could run a free shuttle from Anacostia to the Stadium.
At this point Snyder killed the franchise who the F cares....
Get rid of Snyder family and they will be able to build a stadium anywhere!
Poplar point was no secret, DC United tried to Build a stadium there in 2008
Poplar Point is my favorite site.
It’s supposed to be at Potomac Yard where it was originally planned. The el cheapo strip shopping center comes down and no tears will be shed. The beautiful river views will put DC sports back in the national spotlight. Metro is already there with new Crystal City nightlife. Smart growth: Big projects like stadiums have to be built where the infrastructure already exists. Save the open space. Save the Bay!
That is a thing of beauty
the proposed stadium looks like the calgary saddle dome
I would renovate R.F.K stadium
they knocked it down
@@MPDthegamer not yet
It’s going to take a year and a half to do so
Yes please bring back to DC
I live near Fed-Ex and I hope that the Commanders leave. It's not as bad as it used to be since less people go to see games, but when game day happens, traffic sucks. Try to go buy groceries and run errands on game day is a hassle. Let DC or VA take it. PG would be happy to take that land back and build townhomes and a town center in it's place.
Come home
This is a no-brainer traffic infrastructure A spot where boats can pull up national Harbor is your spot… this team is going to do the dumbest thing ever blow $1 billion in Dumphries Virginia where no one wants to come to .. They need to listen to their fans for once .. I $bill down the drain.. Plus if you go national harbor the NFL an event and concert promoters would love it !!! I’m going to Dumphries to the concert yeah right😂🤣😂..
This is embarrassing DC is one of the richest cities in the United States with that being said make the new stadium happen can’t keep playing in a sewer bowl
Lets get one thing straight ! Its the Redskins ! The American Indian doesnt give a rats patooty what a bunch of football players call themselves. When is the last time an Indian went woke ? How about never !
Commander is great if you are a Village People tribute band.
Just build it in Sterling and be done with it.
This was a secret until now it might as well have stayed a secret if nothing's going to happen. Stop teasing us with pacified information
Put them at blue plains, they'll fit right in 💩
What a waste of money
No way you will catch me in that crime infested area of DC
1:56
You see the Virginia flag bro
Redskins are coming home to VA where they belong
Most fans and ticket holders are Virginians, more then DC and Maryland combined
Headquarters is already in ashburn VA
@@willmdmv8848 I'm all for a new stadium but VA is dry af.
@@mikelawry7304 I’ve lived in all three sides and bartended in all three I think Arlington or tysons corner would be the best locations for a new stadium
@@willmdmv8848 Please take them, I will even donate 20 bucks for moving expenses.
@@willmdmv8848 there is literally nothing around FedEx field. They can build a stadium and housing/ hotels there because D.C. is pretty much out of the question. What do you think about the harbor?
Virginia residents, please stop supporting washington sports teams. We make up half of the season tickets sales. Don't waste your money on this organization.
