Path for NFL’s Commanders’ return to DC clear againUS Senate passes land transfer resolution at 1.15am
The path for the NFL’s Washington Commanders to return to the nation’s capital is clear after an on-again, off-again saga in Congress ended early Saturday with a post-midnight reprieve.
The US Senate passed a resolution to transfer the land including old RFK Stadium from the federal government to the District of Columbia. The DC Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act passed by voice vote at roughly 1.15am after more than a year of lobbying and support from Representative James Comer, district Mayor Muriel Bowser, Commanders controlling owner Josh Harris and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
