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

Growing up in the Washington area, Josh Harris cherished his chances once or twice a year to watch his favorite football team play at RFK Stadium, the home during the glory days when the likes of Joe Theismann and John Riggins made the stands shake on the way to three Super Bowl championships.
