D.C. United Stadium is an informal name that has been given for a soccer-specific stadium to be built in Buzzard Point in Washington, D.C. This planned stadium would be the home stadium for the D.C. United team of Major League Soccer, and would seat 20,000 people. Previously, D.C. United had explored sites in the Washington, D.C. area. Ever since an initial stadium proposal in 2006, D.C. United has had two additional stadium proposals that failed to be built.In January 2011, the possibility of unused land in Buzzard Point being the site of a stadium emerged. In July 2013, Buzzard Point was announced as the stadium location. As of September 2016, the projected timetable was to break ground in February 2017 and complete construction in June 2018.HistoryEarly proposalsIn July 2006, D.C. United proposed building a new stadium at Poplar Point along the Anacostia River near Anacostia Park, but disputes with the city government forced the team to consider other sites. Government Finance Group, as financial advisor to the owners of the D.C. United team, worked on the land use design and financial and economic feasibility, which would have resulted in approximately $3 billion mixed-use development at Popular Point. That bid stalled, however, when there were financial arguments as to how much of the stadium would be funded by the city, the contractors and the club itself. The initial proposal fell through in the summer of 2007. Despite the failed bid, then-Mayor Adrian Fenty opted to have a closed-door meeting in February 2008 to discuss the city funding $150 million for the club. However, despite a short-lived renewed interest, when the D.C. Council recessed in July 2008, the plan never was brought up, and ultimately failed.
