Oh, this is the hot gossip. Everyone talks about it. The current owner, Josh Harris, has hinted that he wants a new stadium. He’s not in love with the Landover location. Smart guy.
D.C. is desperately trying to lure them back. They want to build a new stadium on the RFK site. The old one is a crumbling ruin now, but that land has prime real estate written all over it. Congress recently gave the green light for D.C. to potentially redevelop the site, which is a huge step.
Maryland is also fighting to keep them. They’re offering money, promises, and probably free crab cakes. It’s a full-on bidding war between two states. For now, they’re still in Landover. But by 2030? Who knows. Keep your ear to the ground.
So, What Do We Tell a Friend Who Asks?
If someone asks where the Commanders play, just say: “Landover, Maryland. It’s basically D.C. if D.C. had more parking lots and fewer monuments.”
Or, if you want to be fancy, say they play at Northwest Stadium. Either way, pack your patience and a Metro card. The team might not have a home in the city, but it has a home in the hearts of some very dedicated fans.
Just don’t ask about the traffic. You’ll be there all day.
