Documents reveal potential locations of Washington Commanders new stadium

Описание: The mystery surrounding the location of a new Washington Commanders stadium has fans hoping and guessing about where the team will build its new facility. Now, never-before-released documents obtained through a source close to the Washington Commanders stadium project that were reviewed by WUSA9 reveal the three potential locations a Commanders' stadium could be built in the Commonwealth.

The documents, which WUSA9 agreed not to show but has permission to report, are marked “Washington Football Team Master Plan Workshop” dated “12.22.2021” and broken into three separate plans:

Master Plan Site A, Site B and Site C.

Site C is the closest proposed location to Washington, D.C, roughly 11 miles from downtown in Sterling, Virginia. According to that plan, the stadium would be built on the site of Loudoun Quarries in Loudon County,

The proposed stadium site in Sterling likely sits in the busiest of the three commercial areas, off Old Ox Road and just minutes from Dulles Airport.

Site B is about 26 miles from downtown D.C. in Prince William County. The location is right off I-95 in Woodbridge, accessible by Telegraph Road and commercial and residential streets.

According to the plans, the Woodbridge stadium site would back right up against an existing neighborhood on Summit School Road. The schematics have the stadium on undeveloped land behind the neighborhood, a stone's throw from residents’ back yards.

The most surprising of Virginia’s three potential stadium sites is known as Site A, and it sits about 35 miles from downtown D.C. in Dumfries, in a Prince William County development known as Potomac Shores.

Potomac Shores is a development in progress with new construction going up across from the land on which the stadium would be built.

According to the blueprints reviewed by WUSA9, all three sites would include more than just a 700,000-square-foot, 16-acre stadium.

The proposal would include outdoor and indoor training facilities and team offices, a 14,000-seat amphitheater, hotels and a conference center, residential buildings and mixed-used retail including nightlife.

While the Dumfries stadium site has the most room to grow, sitting right on the Potomac River, it’s also the furthest from D.C. According to Google Maps it could take up to an hour and a half drive time during rush hour if there was a Thursday night game, and that’s not counting stadium traffic.

A spokesperson for the Washington Commanders could not comment on any of the proposed sites or blueprints reviewed by WUSA9, but the team did not refute WUSA9’s reporting.
