Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

The U.S. Senate passed a resolution early Saturday, granting the District of Columbia control over the RFK Stadium site for the next 99 years. This caps a lengthy process and allows for a possible return of the Washington Commanders to their former home. The bipartisan legislation prevents federal taxpayer funds from being used for the development. Local officials, including Mayor Bowser and Commanders owner Josh Harris, expressed gratitude for the collaborative effort, which they believe will revitalize a key part of the city’s landscape, although the Commanders are also exploring other locations for a new stadium.
