The Washington Commanders' quest for a new stadium in D.C. took a significant step forward with the U.S. Senate's unanimous passage of a bill allowing the federal government to lease land at the RFK Stadium site to the district. This development enhances the likelihood of the Commanders returning to D.C., though challenges remain ahead.

Mayor Muriel Bowser is eager to negotiate with the Commanders, who have a long history tied to RFK Stadium. The team, now owned by Josh Harris, aims to secure a new stadium by 2030 while currently playing in Maryland until 2027.
