The Washington Commanders are returning to their namesake city in a nearly $3 billion deal creating a new stadium on the site of the team's historic home.

Washington's new stadium would open in 2030, with groundbreaking expected next year, pending D.C. City Council approval.

The development, anchored by a roofed, 65,000-seat stadium, will be funded primarily by the Commanders, who would put up $2.7 billion, while D.C. taxpayers would pay $500 million.
