From the Commanders:
“Today, the Washington Commanders and HKS unveiled the first conceptual renderings of the team’s new, world-class stadium.

HKS, a global design firm recognized for shaping some of the world’s most iconic sports and entertainment venues, was selected as the lead architect for the stadium in November and has developed this first round of visuals in partnership with the Commanders team. HKS’ portfolio includes SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota and AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
