The Washington Commanders announced that they have selected HKS as the lead architect for the new stadium at the site of the former RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. The stadium was approved by DC Council, and is expected to be open in 2030. New managing partner Josh Harris has made returning the site of the Redskins glory years a central part of his plan after purchasing the team in 2023.
“Selecting HKS as the lead architect marks a major step forward in our journey to bring the Washington Commanders home to the District,” said Mark Clouse, President, Washington Commanders. “HKS has a proven track record of delivering world-class stadiums that balance design, functionality and community impact. This partnership underscores our shared vision to create a stadium that enhances the fan experience, strengthens our connection with the community, and sets a new standard for the future of sports and entertainment—delivering an exceptional experience that will serve our team, our fans, and the District for decades to come.
HKS designs each venue as a one-of-a-kind reflection of its city, shaped by the culture, climate and character of the people and communities it represents. The new Commanders Stadium will be designed with football at its core, delivering the loudest, most dynamic home-field advantage in the NFL. The stadium is also envisioned as a civic landmark for Washington, D.C., with monumental architecture and vibrant public spaces that come alive on game days and throughout the year. Together, the stadium and new surrounding district will reconnect the city to the Anacostia River, catalyze investment on the city’s east side and create a destination for residents and visitors that thrives beyond game day.”
