Template:Future building Poplar Point Stadium is a soccer-specific stadium planned for the Anacostia neighborhood of Washington, D.C. It is expected to seat 27,000 spectators [1] at a site across the Anacostia River from the Washington Nationals' planned ballpark. It will house the D.C. United Major League Soccer franchise. The expected cost is around US$40 million and is yet to be finalized by Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber. The land at the proposed site is currently owned by the federal government and would have to be transferred to the city or D.C. United before construction of the stadium can begin. The site, called Poplar Point, is Metro-accessible via the Anacostia station.

The stadium is to be part of a planned mixed-use development that would also include a hotel, offices, housing, and retail. The target date for completion is 2009.[2]
