the commanders just submitted even MORE renderings for the national capital planning commission meeting on april 2 with more views of what a game day and non-game day would look like. "On days when there is no scheduled event, these outdoor spaces will serve as gathering spaces that are open to the community. A place where a parent can throw the ball with their son or daughter, where the community can read a book under a tree, or where small groups could gather for their morning coffee. The scale of these outdoor spaces will be large enough for the world’s largest stage and intimate enough to create the outdoor rooms a community needs for respite."

The Commanders released more stadium renderings. Among them:

Covering the Capitals Stanley Cup parade in John Carlson’s (and Lucca’s) bus will always be one of the greatest assignments of my career. I rocked his #74 at Caps games ever since. Will be cheering him on in Anaheim and beyond. Thanks for the memories @JohnCarlson74 👏👏

While I already subscribed to @TheAthletic - this commitment to DC sports coverage will ensure that I am not only a customer, but also an advocate. Thank you for giving fans of our local teams the insight and analysis we deserve!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Masked, machine gun carrying men on motorcycles roaming the streets. Fires on ground, military helicopters overhead. And people from DMV trapped in the middle of it all after widespread cartel violence spread across resort city of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. wusa9.com/article/travel…

What are we doing @espn

New images of 18 yr old arrested for charging Capitol w/ loaded shotgun. Carter Camacho appeared in court wearing same fatigues he was arrested in when officers stopped him from running up west front steps with gun. Camacho said he was there to “talk to a Member of Congress.”

@RepRaskin Our exclusive interview with Whistleblower who worked inside same Baltimore ICE facility @RepRaskin visited revealed even more, including alleged use of restraints on a detainee and text messages between guards referring to detainees as "animals in a zoo" wusa9.com/video/news/loc…

I just exercised my right as a Member of Congress to conduct an unannounced oversight visit of the ICE field facility in Baltimore. The staff I met with respected my right to visit, but what I saw was disgraceful. Kristi Noem has a budget of $75 billion she could use to ensure humane conditions, but we saw 60 men packed into a room shoulder-to-shoulder, 24-hours-a-day, with a single toilet in the room and no shower facilities. They sleep like sardines with aluminum foil blankets. Whether it’s for three days or seven days, nobody would want a member of their family warehoused there. The room set aside for dangerous criminals and violent offenders was empty. We’re demanding immediate answers and action.

WUSA9's exclusive interview with whistleblower from Baltimore ICE facility is fueling fight for change on Capitol Hill and in court. The former employee described conditions worse than what appeared in a viral video, including detainees in restraints. wusa9.com/article/news/i…

I am here with @RockvilleCityPD and @mcpnews at the scene at Wootton High School. A lot of rumors going around. Please ONLY trust official County and City Sources for information about students and details. Police do have a suspect in custody. Thank you to these amazing officers. Please keep everyone in your prayers right now.

@JoeVogel_ @mcpnews @RockvilleCityPD Hi Joe - can you do a phone interview with @wusa9 - sharing your insight and reaction as a local leader? If so can you call me at 202-768-0102?

I am closely monitoring reports of a shooting at Wootton High School in Rockville, and am in touch with local officials. I will share confirmed updates from @mcpnews and @RockvilleCityPD.

"Jon Scheyer is finally walking back his outrageous UNC fan accusations." Shocking. I'm shocked. 🙄

Former ICE Facility Worker 'saw people laying in feces' at Baltimore Detention Center; "That looks like there's probably about 30 people in that cell. That's cell one. And I've seen 50 people in that cell," the worker said. "But worse than that is cell 3. Cell 3 is half that size. And I've seen 50 people in cell 3." @EricFlackTV wusa9.com/article/news/i…

Whistleblower speaks exclusively to WUSA9 - provides internal documents alleging severe overcrowding, mistreatment months before viral video taken inside Baltimore ICE detention facility sparked national outrage. wusa9.com/article/news/i…

This was my senior year and one of the singular greatest nights of my four years in Chapel Hill. The fact that a missed Vince dunk is in the highlight reel is crazy. I still say if he throws that down the roof literally comes off of the Dean Dome.

The Cap One renovation might be getting lost a bit in all the Commanders Stadium talk - but "The Halo" sounds dope. One of a kind, multi level luxury seating area with baller service? Sign me up.

It’s that time of year. 🐏

So on the 4,167th and final day of a job so exhilarating that I'd swear at least 4,000 of the days qualified as very good or better, the coffee came with whooshing thoughts of the 11 years and the four months and the 27 days. The brain tore through the datelines from 17 countries and 43 states, the three World Cups, the four Olympics, the 10 tennis majors, the 20 golf majors, the 11 men's Finals Four, the 28 College Football Playoff games, the 10 Kentucky Derbys, the tour of Jordan-Oman-Kuwait-United Arab Emirates, the 46 days in the peerless Australia -- I mean, come on, really? -- the depth of the beauty of South Koreans, and those times when I looked in the mirror (briefly) and saw a lunatic. Maybe the looniest would be covering a game in Seattle on a Friday night, then a game in Clemson on that Saturday night (with Lamar Jackson on the field looking even more dizzying than usual). Or was it the Boise on a Friday night, the students swimming into the frigid river for a goal-post chunk after midnight, then the one hour of sleep, then the Indianapolis on a Saturday night? No, wait, wait, it had to be this: Novak Djokovic winning the French Open in Paris on Sunday early evening, then U.S. Open golf preparations starting on Tuesday . . . . . . in Los Angeles. Non-deranged people might find such a sequence unfair; for whatever metabolic reason, I just kept giggling. Well, something surpassed all of that, somehow. To be part of the Washington Post Sports department was to be a part of an exemplary human experience, a rarefied collegiality, a beacon of collaboration and a near-bewildering scarcity of envy. For just one thing, I never, ever thought, way back last century, that I'd inhabit a world and a staff where everyone would treat my husband as one of the group, where a deputy sports editor would say, in a kitchen, near the end of a holiday party, "Alfonso! Come over here and hug me!" All of it reinforced that on the medal stand of life, human collaboration deserves a spot and maybe even the gold, for its curious capacity to bolster seemingly all 35 trillion of our cells. I love these forever teammates all so much it probably annoys them, and they call to mind a relic of a show always worth unearthing. It's Episode 168 of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," the episode she titled, "The Last Show," when the WJM newsroom staff works a final news show and has a last group hug, and Mary wishes to emote, and Lou wishes not to emote, but then Mary gives a stirring speech and then the ever-gruff Lou relents and, in a quaking voice, says something resonant all the way clear into February 2026: "I treasure you people."

THIS.
