Washington commanders stadium: Quick notes

This week on Dezeen we unveiled the design for a colonnade-wrapped stadium in Washington DC for NFL team the Washington Commanders.

Designed by architecture studio HKS, the stadium will have a “monumental” form and a seating capacity of more than 70,000.

“Every design decision is guided by the significance of place – shaped by its local, regional and national history and generations of memories rooted in RFK Stadium,” said HKS global venues director Mark A Williams.

“Monumental in presence, grounded in the L’Enfant Plan and scaled to the urban fabric of the district, the stadium design will be a bold civic landmark that carries the city’s architectural legacy forward in a way that is confident, dynamic and unmistakably Washington, DC.”

Miami Freedom Park is one of several high-profile stadiums set to complete this year

Other stadiums set to open this year include a home for the Turkey national football team and the first of the Saudi World Cup venues.

Also looking ahead to 2026, we looked at the 10 most interesting skyscrapers that are due to complete later this year.
