The Washington Commanders haven't made much noise this offseason since trading for quarterback Carson Wentz, though that all changed on Monday. The Commanders made a huge $100 million move in Woodbridge, Virginia, as reported by the Associated Press and the Daily Press.
The Washington Commanders have bought land in Woodbridge, Virginia, for what could be a potential site of the NFL team’s next stadium, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because the team had not announced the acquisition. The Commanders paid approximately $100 million for 200 acres of land in Prince William County and are still considering other locations in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia, the person said.
The Commanders bought 200 acres of land in Woodbridge, Virginia for approximately $100 million. The team is reportedly considering the land as a potential site for their new stadium.
However, the Daily Press reports that the team is also considering other locations in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. The Commanders' playing contract at their current stadium, FedEx Field, is set to expire in 2026.
Commanders owner Daniel Snyder has big plans, as a new stadium is just part of what he's looking into. Per ESPN, the new venture could include a small amphitheater, a small indoor music arena, retail shops, bars, restaurants and residential living.
It remains to be seen if and when the Commanders will leave Fedex Field. This huge move in Woodbridge, Virginia is the first sign that it could happen sometime soon.
