Stadium 路 United States

How much did Audi Field cost to build?

Audi Field is the 20,000-seat home of D.C. United in Washington's Buzzard Point neighborhood. Stadium construction began with a February 2017 groundbreaking, and the first D.C. United match was played there on 14 July 2018. Reported figures for the stadium structure differ from earlier estimates for the broader stadium development, which included public land and site work; they should not be treated as the same cost.
