As expected , the Washington Commanders received good news Wednesday as it was announced that the D.C. Council voted to approve the RFK Stadium Project, allowing the franchise to return to the site of its former home of 36 years. A statement from team owner Josh Harris announced Washington’s plans moving forward.
“Today is a historic day for D.C., the Commanders organization, and our fans,” the statement began. “With the Council’s approval, we can now move forward on the transformative RFK Project that will bring lasting economic growth for our city.”
Harris went on to thank the Mayor Mureil Bowser and several other contributors.
“We are deeply grateful for the warm return to the District and the center of the DMV, and look forward to officially bringing the team back to its spirit
