In November 2005, D.C. United publicly discussed the club’s desire for a new stadium for the Black-and-Red.

The proposed 27,000-seat stadium is planned to be the focal point for a mixed-use development that would include a hotel as well as office and retail space along with housing initiatives and riverfront revitalization.

The coming together of the most successful professional soccer team in the United States, the world’s biggest sport and a supportive community makes the potential project one of the most important and significant “sport-based” urban renewal programs in American sporting history.
