The Council of the District of Columbia is moving back its deadline for a stadium deal at the abandoned RFK Stadium grounds with the Washington Commanders.

Mayor Muriel Bowser and the team are pushing for the council to approve a $3.7 billion deal by July 15 to build a 65,000-seat football stadium. Per the deal, the team will contribute nearly $2.7 billion, and the city will fund about $1 billion.
