At least seven lawmakers are needed for Mayor Muriel E. Bowser’s RFK stadium deal with the team to proceed. Before the Washington Commanders can build a $3.7 billion stadium development at the decaying RFK Stadium site, the deal has to go through the D.C. Council.

The Washington Commanders issued a strong statement urging the D.C. Council to approve RFK stadium before a critical deadline.

The Commanders’ RFK stadium plan hinges on a D.C. Council vote and could bring $14B in economic impact, jobs, and major events to the city.
