Washington's new stadium would open in 2030, with groundbreaking expected next year, pending D.C. City Council approval.

Washington, D.C.'s NFL franchise is set to return to the nation's capital as part of an agreement between the organization and the District of Columbia government to build a new stadium.

The Commanders will put up $2.7 billion for the development, anchored by a roofed, 65,000-seat stadium, while cost for D.C. taxpayers is expected to top $1 billion.
