Commanders, D.C. reach deal for new stadium at RFK site

The Washington Commanders have decided to return home after decades of searching, securing a deal to build a new stadium at RFK Stadium, where they previously thrived from 1961 to 1996. The ambitious project, costing over $3 billion, will kick off construction in early 2024 and be ready for play by 2030. Plans also include transforming the site into housing, parking facilities, hotels, retail spaces, recreational areas, and event hosting spots like the Super Bowl. However, D.C. needs approval for the project, which has sparked debate over public funding use. Josh Harris, who purchased the team in 2023, highlighted the emotional significance of RFK Stadium to him and his co-owners.
