D.C. Council is trying to balance the excitement of securing a team while ensuring the public isn’t stuck with a stadium bill it can’t afford.

Prince George’s County has been home to both Six Flags and the Washington Commanders for decades, but within a week span both announced their intention to exit.

Last week, the Commanders and native son owner Josh Harris announced a deal to bring the franchise home from the Maryland suburbs in 2030, pending D.C. City Council approval, with a $3.7 billion stadium project on the hallowed grounds of RFK Stadium.

WASHINGTON — DC Council Chair Phil Mendelson signaled Tuesday he's open to a deal for a new Washington Commanders stadium at the RFK site, but only with significant changes to Mayor Muriel Bowser's current $1.2 billion public funding proposal.

Commanders owner Josh Harris and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell believe the 2027 NFL Draft will draw 1 million attendees.

The Commanders won the rematch 36-33 at Northwest Stadium on Dec. 22. In that game, Jalen Hurts left the game in the first quarter with a concussion. The Eagles had a 13-point lead entering the fourth quarter behind backup QB Kenny Pickett, who has since been traded to Cleveland.

NFL star’s latest venture is more than business. It's a way for the Washington Commanders' legend to honor his family.
