A hefty $3.24 billion expenditure is underway for the construction of one of the world's priciest stadiums in this location.
Let's Talk About Billions
We're chatting about a jaw-droppingly huge amount here.
A mind-boggling sum of over 3.6 to 4 billion USD is being poured into the construction of the most expensive stadium globally (in US dollars, mate!).

On US soil
The colossal project is taking place in the States, ready to be the new sporting haven for an NFL team. Construction is underway in Washington D.C. to erect this sports mega-structure.
It's all thanks to Josh Harris, the owner of the Washington Commanders football team, who recently sealed a deal with the Washington mayor. The stadium will have room for 65,000 spectators, cheering on their favorite team!
A new corner of the city
A brand-new neighborhood for the people is planned around the stadium, featuring shopping districts, comfy apartments, and parks. Before the project gets the go-ahead, the local city council has to give its seal of approval. The old stadium is no longer fit for purpose, so a new one is necessary.
The Washington Commanders themselves are putting around 2.7 billion USD towards the project.
Groundbreaking indeed
The deal between the Commanders and D.C. officials is expected to give a massive boost to the city, with a 65,000-seat, roofed stadium, occupying 16 acres of the 170-acre site. The stadium aims to open its doors in 2030. A surrounding development will include mixed-income housing, green spaces, hotels, retail establishments, restaurants, and a "sportsplex" facility. The project aims to transform the Anacostia River waterfront into a 24/7 entertainment hub.
The agreement signals the Commanders' return to D.C. after they've been playing in Maryland since 1997, rejuvenating the site where the team won three Super Bowls. If given the green light, construction could start in 2026.
