Washington Commanders owner Josh Harris does not expect a resolution on the congressional bill to redevelop the former Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium in Washington, D.C., until after Election Day.

The bill, which passed in the House of Representatives in February, has been held up in the Senate, as Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) wants the team’s former logo, which depicts a Native American designed after Walter “Blackie” Wetzel, a member of the Blackfeet Nation in Montana, to be honored. The team has been in talks with the Wetzel family over honoring the former logo.
