DC United is one of Major League Soccer's most decorated franchises, yet it still plays its home games within the crumbling confines of RFK Stadium. This structure and the surrounding parking lots sit vacant for most of the year, though they occupy a prime site along the Anacostia River. In this project, I am proposing to incorporate a new metro station, transit hub and commercial development into the design of a stadium for DC United along the northern portion of the site. By providing services and amenities that do not currently exist in this part of the city, this endeavor could be a viable year-round resource for the community.

I could not have done this without Bridget and Lucas.

As you can see, for whatever reason, this part of the city is cut off from melro-rail service. A proposed streetcar line is being planned to mitigate this problem, but its future is uncertain.
