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.

The Washington Commanders have reached an agreement with the city of Washington, D.C. to build a 65,000-seat, $4 billion stadium at the site where RFK Stadium – the team’s home from 1961 through 1996 – still stands.

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.
