Most DC residents want proposed Commanders stadium as City Council teeters

Published



A majority of Washington, D.C., residents support the proposal for a new Washington Commanders stadium to replace the former RFK Stadium on the banks of the Anacostia River.

The Commanders and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced the $3.7 billion deal last week, which would build the stadium, housing, shops, parks, and recreational sports facilities. The Commanders would pay $2.7 billion for vertical construction, while the district would pay $500 million for horizontal construction and $181 million for parking.
