NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was in attendance for the team's stadium announcement and at one point during the event, he was asked if the new stadium would "increase" the chances of D.C. getting a Super Bowl. "I didn't come here to announce that, but I would say dramatically," the commissioner said.

Washington’s NFL franchise is set to return to the nation’s capital. Mayor Muriel Bowser says the District of Columbia and the Commanders reached an agreement to construct a new home for the football team in the city on the site of the old RFK Stadium.
