Senate Committee Advances RFK Stadium Bill, Paving Way for Commanders' Potential Return to D.C.
Nov 19, 2024, 04:36 PM
The Washington Commanders' potential return to D.C. has taken a significant step forward as the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee voted 17-2 to advance the RFK Stadium bill. This legislation would grant D.C. long-term control of the federal land where the old RFK Stadium site currently sits, opening the possibility for a new NFL stadium. The bill's passage through the committee is seen as a crucial move in the ongoing effort to lure the Commanders back to the District. The next step involves the bill moving to the Senate floor for a vote, with a three-way lobbying effort from the NFL, the Commanders, and D.C. officials already underway.
