Washington's Snyder to complete new 'state-of-the-art' stadium by 2027

Washington Football Team owner Dan Snyder is planning to build a new stadium for his franchise.

Snyder told TMZ that he expects the club to open a "state-of-the-art" stadium by 2027.

The 56-year-old owner is looking at various stadiums to draw inspiration for his future project. Snyder, along with other team executives, was reportedly in Los Angeles this week to check out SoFi Stadium, and he'll be going as far as Europe to check out facilities.

"We're touring stadiums," Snyder said. "We're coming West Coast and touring. There's about 12 of us, and we're just looking to build a new venue back home in D.C., Virginia, Maryland."

Team president Jason Wright added: "We're taking inspiration from everywhere because if we're going to do something that our fans really deserve - which is cutting edge and innovative - we're going to take in all the ideas. So, we're absorbing."

Washington has been playing at its current stadium, FedEx Field, since 1997. The facility is reportedly in the midst of its first major renovation project since opening, with the club improving the stadium's playing surface.
