Legislation allowing DC to redevelop RFK Stadium and bring Commanders back in jeopardy after passing Congress hurdle.
New legislation aimed at redeveloping the iconic RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., is facing a major setback less than 24 hours after being considered likely to pass in Congress. The measure would have allowed the city to transform the stadium into a mixed-use development and potentially bring back the Washington Commanders football team to their historic home.
The news comes as a significant blow to local officials and fans who had been hoping to see the stadium redeveloped and the Commanders return to RFK, where they played from 1961 to 1997.
