The Washington Commanders’ plan to build a new stadium in Washington, D.C. is facing uncertainty after funding legislation that would have transferred control of the RFK campus from the federal government to the District was removed from a continuing resolution. The decision comes despite efforts by the team’s ownership group and local officials to secure funding for a stadium project on the 174-acre site. Without a new bill, the chances of a new football stadium being built in Washington diminish, leaving the franchise with options that could include delaying their timeline or exploring alternative locations in Maryland.
