House Approves Transfer of RFK Stadium Site for Washington Commanders Revitalization

The House passed a bipartisan bill allowing D.C. to redevelop the defunct RFK Stadium site into a mixed-use development, potentially including a new stadium for the Washington Commanders. The bill, which now heads to the Senate, would transfer control of the 174-acre riverfront parcel to D.C. for 99 years, with no rent costs, and enable various development possibilities. The legislation received overwhelming support in the House, despite unified opposition from the Maryland delegation, and its passage brings D.C. closer to potentially luring the Commanders back to their former home.
