The Washington Commanders are likely to get a new owner very soon. Will a new stadium follow?
That’s the multibillion-dollar question circulating around the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area as Daniel Snyder appears poised to relinquish control of the team he has owned since 1999. Snyder also owns FedEx Field, the Landover, Maryland, stadium where the Commanders have played since the 1997 season. The Commanders are contracted to play at FedEx through the 2027 season, but beyond that, the team’s home field prospects are a blank slate.
Only eight stadiums in the league are older than FedEx Field, and few have had as many infrastructure problems, from pipes leaking liquid onto fans to railings collapsing.
