Audi Field Gets Major Upgrade | Washington DC News

D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson is pushing a bold $62 million upgrade for Audi Field, including a roof, 8,000 new seats, and modern facilities to make the stadium year-round viable—critical as D.C. United shifts to a fall-to-spring schedule. The plan hinges on a public-private partnership: $300 million from the city’s capital budget over five years, matched by $360 million from the team, repayable via stadium revenues. Beyond the field, the bill also targets adjacent land for hundreds of affordable housing units, retail, offices, and green spaces to revitalize the neighborhood. Mendelson calls this the first step, with public hearings planned for fall to shape the final details.
