The Washington Commanders are looking to build a new stadium. Whether it’s in Virginia, returning to Washington, D.C., or staying in Maryland, the Commanders have options with Daniel Snyder no longer owning the team.
But a new stadium isn’t close; therefore, the Commanders will be in FedEx Field for at least the next few seasons. So Washington is making a significant investment in its current digs.
On Thursday, the Commanders announced a $40 million investment in FedEx Field that will fund significant upgrades to the stadium and the overall fan experience.
Additionally, the upgrades will include three new themed suites, new ticket scanning pedestals, point-of-sale upgrades and other maintenance repairs around the stadium.
We have the best fans in football – and they deserve the best gameday experience. These upgrades to FedExField represent an immediate and tangible step to improve that experience, something our ownership group considers a top priority,” said Trista Langdon, Senior Vice President of Operations and Guest Experience. “Not only are we taking care of our fans, we’re also taking care of our house. Fans will continue to see improvements throughout the season as we continue to invest and make changes to everything from basic infrastructure to a re-imagined pregame ritual. We are excited for fans to come home and see all the changes on September 10.
Washington will also welcome 12 new food vendors in 2023.
New owner Josh Harris has stated multiple times his immediate priorities were improvements to FedEx Field, the fan experience and the 2023 season.
Harris and his partners are off to a great start.
