@@TyrellDunn nah its not. The new ownership group would want a stadium that has more than 70k seats that is more state of the art than these other new nfl stadiums.

Plus dc is in debt and with plans to renovate capital one arena its gonna put em further in the hole. Im from dc and know the rfk site area well! Doesnt make sense to me to build a stadium in that area. Put it some place else like near the national harbor in oxon hill md…
@@amoses11 you’d be surprised what they would try to do tbh at site if they want to build the proper stadium that they are looking for. Don’t count the new ownership and DC government out.
The stadium should be at the old RFK site for a huge variety of reasons. There is easy public transit access, it would create a unique urban gameday enviornment, the historical significance of playing at the site, etc. I just assumed it was greed and the possibility of taxpayer funding that would lead them elsewhere.
The Potomac Yards site that Ted Leonsis wanted had no chance, ironically it was the third attempt to build a Stadium or Arena on that site, first was the proposed Jack Kent Cooke Redskins stadium in 1992, then it would have been the home of a Nothern Virginia Baseball team called the Virigina Fury in the Mid 90s MLB expansion that got Arizona and Tampa Bay team and then this.
A redesigned Redskins logo introduced in 1972 was proposed by Walter Wetzel, a former Blackfoot tribal chairman and past president of the National Congress of American Indians, and was modeled after the likeness on the Buffalo nickel.
It’s outside of the District. Just 5-8 minutes. That’s nothing compared to then taking it to Woodbridge, VA. The Commanders Field property is enough land to build a bigger, more advanced stadium and sports complex. But I’d rather them come back to DC
I'm a Dallas cowboys fan. I believe the Washington Redskins should build a new stadium on the RFK site. Have their stands shake like the old days and a new dome and reinstate their goddamn original name. They are the Washington Redskins to me. I will never call him the other name and same thing goes for the Cleveland Indians. I don't call him the Cleveland g whatever yo on it you can add the rest
Everybody there wants it at the RFK site... but the red tape in DC is way different than it is in Virginia or Maryland... and from what I've heard.. makes the state level Red Tape seem easy and pleasant to deal with.
Well these billionaires are not messing around. Some type of tax subsidies will be needed for any stadium. So stop drinking the anti tax for stadiums kool aid 🙄
Just put them in audi field(home of dc united) for a year or two while the new stadium is getting built once the contract is up in 2027. Yeah its not a optimal capacity (20k) for the nfl but going to a newer, better mls stadium is an improvement compared to being at commanders field plus it being in dc and right next to nationals park
There’s no momentum in a stadium in DC. The governor in Montana already said. The Washington team will never be in DC until the new owners pay a lot of money to wetzel family. They are blackfoot Indians. Never going to happen.
@depressed ginger: i challenge u to go to RFK Stadium and just tour that entire area like u did for the browns new stadium site and posted that video. I am from Washington dc born and raised and i know that area of RFK just as well as any other native washingtonian. Theres simply not enough room to build a new state of the art stadium with ample parking! Now if the new REDSKINS ownership group makes it happen, then good for them. But it just doesnt make sense to me to put a new state of fhe art stadium right near residential homes and apartments, A FREAKING JAIL, DC Armory, former hospital that is being used as a homeless shelter, and a mini psyche ward, and the temporary site where department of public works is housed and parks their trash collection trucks(i used to work for dc department of public works.). Now last time i was home, they were redeveloping the area but my question is how would they reconfigure the area so it can handle the shitload of traffic going to and from those games plus the residents living in that area getting too and from their homes? Where are the bars and restaurants going to be thats right there near the new stadium??? Plus that circular interchange that loops around the stadium to get to and from dc 295 is already hell. Imagine what it’ll be like on game days? These are questions that need to be taken into consideration. You should go see the area for yourself to understand that its no room to build a new stadium
I prefer Poplar Point for the new stadium! RFK is cool if it has to be that, but only as a second choice! It's just that Poplar Point is smaller! Overall, Poplar Point is just a better spot in so many categories except space. Nonetheless, it's a D.C. team and it belongs in D.C.. Maryland has its team, and Virginia is irrelevant! They have no team and do not need our team! Those people don't even like D.C., but always wanna take something from D.C.. They need to stay secluded as they like to be. Other than that, people need to go to Poplar Point to understand why it's the best spot. It's literally where a stadium belongs. RFK is cool, but more can be done with Poplar Pointe, like a boat pier for ferries to bring VA people over. That would help with the parking since it's smaller than RFK. You can't put a pier at RFK simply bcuz it's north of the CSX train bridge, and only small boats can pass under. A pier of ferry drop off is mandatory bcuz the other two stadiums, which happens to be right next to Poplar Point, both have ferry drop-offs! It's also right next to the new South Capitol Street Bridge. It's right next to the river. It's directly off the freeway, and in-between two freeways vs. the one way in from one freeway at RFK. It's right across the river from all the high rise apartments and the two stadiums, which means these people already are used to sports traffic, unlike RFK! Then, not to mention, there are no apartments in the Poplar Point side, except the one building being built. It's also right in-between two train stations and a third nearby, vs. the one station at RFK. It would also be a much better view from the freeway with the open space, and can be seen from both directions vs. being seen from one direction at RFK, unless you look for it. You might even be able to see the Capitol kinda right behind it, but likely only from the freeway. Overall, it just fits the city skyline scenery at Poplar Pointe. They can even redesign the two roundabouts that they built for the new bridge, and sit the stadium directly in the middle, right in front of the bridge, and then reroute the roundabouts into one large roundabout to go around the stadium and then straight to the bridge behind the stadium. Then, Poplar Point can be used for all parking, etc! If they didn't procrastinate so much, they could have done all of this at the same time as the bridge and not have put that one apartment building that's being built right now, and used that space, too! Then, for extra parking, build garages upward. This would be the best place to see a large dome. It wouldn't even distract those peaceful residents over near RFK who has only that one route to get home from the freeway. Everything around Poplar Point is already lively and not quiet typical residential areas like RFK! A lot of cities put all of their stadiums right next to each other, so why not here, too? IJS!

That's the perfect site for the Skins, it all went to hell for the Skins once they moved into the suburbs. They need to be back on the RFK site ASAP.

Come back to DC & bring back the Redskins name & logo. Put any renovation money into the new stadium.
They are not bringing back the name. Corporate sponsors won't go for it

Land in Virginia near DC is outrageously hot, thus expensive. Very expensive. Demand for office space and high price condos is crazy.
5:30 I know it’s just a rendering, but why is that building below the stadium in the picture with the 3 parts - Why is that middle building slanted?
Washington football 🏈 would have no excuse to not have good public transit to RFK
Man , I went to commander’s field and it looks bad and it still has FedEx on it
Absolutely the new commanders stadium needs to be at the rfk site it's time for all sports teams in the nation's capital to play in dc
Yeah they confirmed capital one arena is getting that money!
Don't know and don't care where it's going to go, we don't want it in Maryland or Virginia.
Did you hear about a possible light rail hub across from the new okc arena
I think we all know it’s going to the RFK site. Story getting old now
Is rfk location good one?
It as to be in DC because US men’s soccer team & women’s need a home stadium so they can also pitch in some money
Just put them in audi field(home of dc united) for a year or two while the new stadium is getting built once the contract is up in 2027. Yeah its not a optimal capacity (20k) for the nfl but going to a newer, better mls stadium is an improvement compared to being at commanders field plus it being in dc and right next to nationals park

Well I agree Trump is a traitor
Can’t be traitors if they were never on your side to begin with.
