The backstory:

Demolition of the old RFK Stadium started last year to make room for the Commanders to return to D.C. 

The stadium will seat up to 70,000 people, and the multi-billion-dollar construction is expected to include housing, green spaces and a sports complex.

There will also be a neighborhood gathering place and a stage to host large events.

Construction on the stadium is expected to start next year, with plans to open for the 2030 season.
