\u201cWe are proud to share the first visuals of our future stadium, a defining milestone in the next phase of the development process,\u201d said Mark Clouse, President of the Washington Commanders. \u201cThis moment underscores the strength of our partnership with HKS, whose thoughtful, forward-looking approach has helped us shape a concept that is worthy of its extraordinary site along DC\u2019s Monumental Axis and truly embodies the spirit and character of the District. We are deeply grateful to the District and the Mayor for their leadership, collaboration, and continued support, which have been instrumental in bringing this vision to life.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the beginning, our focus has been on delivering a best-in-class experience for Commanders fans while honoring the legacy of RFK Stadium and our team,\u201d Clouse added. \u201cWe\u2019re designing a stadium that amplifies the energy of football, supports year-round events and becomes a place the community can be proud of. We look forward to hearing feedback from our community as the design continues to evolve.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHKS is honored to work on one of the world\u2019s most extraordinary sports and entertainment sites, and this project calls for an equally extraordinary response. Every design decision is guided by the significance of place \u2013 shaped by its local, regional and national history and generations of memories rooted in RFK Stadium,\u201d said Mark A. Williams, FAIA, HKS Global Venues Director. \u201cMonumental in presence, grounded in the L\u2019Enfant Plan and scaled to the urban fabric of the District, the stadium design will be a bold civic landmark that carries the city\u2019s architectural legacy forward in a way that is confident, dynamic and unmistakably Washington, DC\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThese renderings give DC a lot to look forward to \u2013 a beautiful and unique waterfront stadium and the return of our Commanders; year-round events that are steps away from an entertainment district and public transportation; and, of course, jobs for DC residents and new opportunities for DC businesses,\u201d said Mayor Muriel Bowser. \u201cI\u2019m grateful for the shared commitment from both the Commanders and HKS to designing an iconic stadium that honors the history of our city \u2013 and our skyline \u2013 while also being a true catalyst for future opportunity at the RFK campus.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cWe are proud to share the first visuals of our future stadium, a defining milestone in the next…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":688060,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2069],"tags":[427,7,6,855,111,10421,2480],"class_list":{"0":"post-688059","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-washington-commanders","8":"tag-commanders","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-washington","12":"tag-washington-commanders","13":"tag-washington-commanders-news","14":"tag-washingtoncommanders"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688059","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=688059"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688059\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/688060"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=688059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=688059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=688059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
