Daily Slop - 28 Jan 25 - Commanders lift their heads and look to the future as ‘24 season ends one game short of the goal

Boston-based KaTO Architecture said the timber-roofed stadium could become the United States answer to Wembley Stadium.

One of the world’s most famous stadiums could be (re) built in wood with the audacious design pitched by a small studio, KaTO Architecture, which has joined a growing chorus of fans, politicians, and NFL officials pushing for the Washington Commanders, one of North America’s largest and most successful franchises, to move back into a new mass timber-constructed RFK Stadium – just two miles from the Capitol Building.

Speaking to the Fox Network, Kyle Murphy, the project’s lead architect, said that while the team and city did not engage the studio, RFK’s prime location—next to the National Mall—meant the stadium must think big: “We decided to throw out a wild card and see where it goes,” Murphy said.
