NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell acknowledged that a new, state-of-the-art Commanders stadium in Washington would drastically increase the chances of the U.S. capital hosting the Super Bowl for the first time.

The Washington Commanders will return to the District of Columbia and redevelop their former RFK Stadium campus, the team announced.

After weeks of speculation, the Washington Commanders agreed to a deal with the city of Washington, D.C., to build a new stadium at the site of RFK Stadium.
