The Washington Commanders have filed a site plan to turn their practice facility in Ashburn, Virginia, into a data center complex — but that is not expected to happen any time soon.
The NFL team filed the site plan under the corporate entity Scoreboard Landco Borrower LLC, which owns the property at 21300 Coach Gibbs Drive, where the team currently trains and has its corporate headquarters. The facility has four outdoor practice fields and one indoor field under an
inflated bubble.
(Picture of the site plan filed with Loudoun County shows three data center buildings which would consume part of the Commanders campus in Ashburn.)
The property, which totals about 44 acres, including 5 acres in a flood plain, is at Gloucester Parkway and Loudoun County Parkway, just west of Route 28. It is surrounded by numerous other data centers. The Washington football team has trained there since the early 1990s.
