The Washington D.C. City Council preliminarily approved a $3.8 billion deal to build a new 65,000-seat stadium for the Washington Commanders at the RFK Stadium site. The Commanders will contribute $2.7 billion, with the city providing $1.1 billion in public funds. The project includes housing, retail, and entertainment spaces, aiming to revitalize the area. A final vote is scheduled for September 17th. The new stadium, slated to open by 2030, could host Super Bowls and the 2031 Women's World Cup.
