RICHMOND — Bruce Allen said Monday that the Washington Redskins have begun holding discussions with local government leaders on the construction of a new stadium, but cautioned that those talks are in the introductory stages.
Allen, speaking before the Redskins held their final practice in training camp, said the discussions have begun because of the timeframe required to have a suitable stadium in place. The Redskins‘ lease at FedEx Field expires in 2026.
“We’ve had great conversations with all the areas and the design is something that we’ve started on, but really, it is preliminary right now,” Allen said, referring to Washington, Maryland and Virginia.
