Technically, Loudoun County is already home to the Washington Commanders; the football team’s headquarters and training facility are in Ashburn. Now, some county officials say they are open to discussing relocating its main event — a new stadium complex — to a portion of the Chantilly Crushed Stone/Loudoun Quarries property near the Fairfax County border currently planned for the Waterside mixed-use development.
With an investor group reportedly poised to finalize a $6 billion deal to buy the team from longtime owner Dan Snyder, county officials are now publicly pursuing discussions with the franchise to bring a National Football League stadium to Loudoun. The team’s lease for its current stadium in Landover, Maryland, ends in 2027.
“We look forward to welcoming the Washington Commanders to the Loudoun County Board Room to share their vision of a new stadium as part of a multi-use development in an urban setting,” Matt Rogers, chief of staff for Loudoun County Board of Supervisors Chair Phyllis Randall, wrote in a statement to the Times-Mirror April 15.
“Loudoun and the Commanders have enjoyed a long business relationship that has proven financially beneficial to both parties. An expansion of their football operations in Loudoun County is an idea we’re eager to discuss, provided that Loudoun County taxpayers will not experience a single cent of tax increase to finance a stadium,” [Matt] Rogers said.
