"I can still hear the crowds," Theismann says as the video opens on a shot of fans cheering from inside old RFK Stadium. "When I first stepped into RFK Stadium, I knew I'd found a home. The roar of the fans, the energy of the city, united as one, was unlike anything I'd ever experienced. RFK Stadium was the stage for the world's greatest in sports, culture, and entertainment. All in the heart of our nation's capital, it's time to revive that legacy. Let's bring the Commanders home.

"A new stadium will serve as the anchor for the RFK site," Theismann continues. "Unlocking new opportunities for generations to come. This means new housing, new restaurants, retail, and public spaces are all possible. The stadium development will create new access to the Anacostia waterfront while preserving some of our city's treasures. A world-class city deserves a world-class stadium uniting a sea of burgundy and gold, something that unites us in our pride for the district. The time is now. Let's bring Washington back to D.C."
