Audi Field is a soccer-specific stadium in the Buzzard Point neighborhood of Washington, D.C. It is the home of the D.C. United, Washington Spirit, and DC Power FC soccer teams, and the DC Defenders football team. The stadium has a capacity of 20,000. Previously, D.C. United had explored sites in the Washington metropolitan area. Following the failure of an initial stadium proposal in 2006, D.C. United made two additional stadium proposals that also failed to be built. In January 2011, the club explored using previously unused land at Buzzard Point to build a stadium; this was confirmed in July 2013, when Buzzard Point was announced as the stadium location. The ground-breaking ceremony occurred in February 2017, with construction completed in July 2018.
In North American competitions, the stadium is known as Washington, D.C. Stadium due to advertising rules.
