Finally. Cannot wait to see a blueprint of the future stadium. Harris wants it done by 2030.

HTTC!

Sounds like the new stadium could be ready by 2030 which is Harris's goal. Pretty exciting and another strong sign the Snyder era is history.

The fact that Harris and his team will pay majority of the stadium cost is impressive. I always have mixed feelings about city/state covering most, if not all, costs to build a stadium for NFL.

I'll believe it when it happens.

Even though it's only infrastructure spending; people don't want taxpayer money going to a stadium in any way. People will oppose it and sue.

There are people who want no stadium in that site and plan to sue to oppose it.

Also, will owners approve a deal where the owner mostly pays for it. They wants taxpayers to pay for most of it.

So, despite this apparent good news; there are still potential hurdles. Until those are overcome and stadium is being built, I won't believe it.

Is this new information any different than what we learned a week ago when news broke that Harris and Bowser had reached an agreement? This just seems like a formal announcement of what we already knew. My understanding is that the City Council must approve the plan, and I haven't read anything that suggests that has occurred yet.

Did you all watch the press conference? I’d love that helmet that all 3 signed.

Harris says will be the best stadium in the NFL:

Impossible not to love this guy. He's been pretty perfect since we got him.

New stadium pic looks absolutely awesome wow! Harris wasn't joking when he said will be best in the league. Heck that may end up happening. I honestly cannot decide whether I like the interior or exterior better as both look stunning. Harris is the man!

I understand he's still a billionaire getting a hand out, but at least ownership is putting up a large chunk of cash and is doing some city planning (green spaces etc). Inside concept of the glass dome looks great, and it's good that the team will be back in DC.

Can you elaborate on that part? From what I have read, the city will cover the cost for infrastructure around the stadium while Harris and his team will cover the cost of the stadium.
