New Bill Separates Commanders Stadium Talks From DC Budget Process

  • The Washington Commanders and D.C. government announced a $3.7 billion deal in April 2025 to redevelop the RFK Stadium site in Northeast D.C.
  • This deal follows years of efforts led by Mayor Bowser and others to gain control of the 180-acre federally owned RFK site, now transferred to D.C. for 99 years.
  • The plan includes a 65,000-seat stadium on 20 acres, with 160 acres for housing, recreation, and business, aiming for a 2030 completion and generating $4 billion in tax revenue.
  • Council Chair Phil Mendelson put forward separate legislation in 2025 to detach the stadium approval process from the city's 2026 budget, allowing for dedicated hearings and a thorough review.
  • Delays in council approval could jeopardize jobs and the project timeline, but both the Commanders and D.C. officials remain committed to completing the stadium by 2030.
