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 Commanders’ new home at the RFK Stadium site would include a roof, which is vital for a potential Super Bowl bid.

The Washington Commanders and DC Mayor Muriel E. Bowser announced Monday the team's plans to build a new stadium at the site of the old RFK Stadium.
