The D.C. Council voted to approve development of the RFK Stadium site, which is the first step toward the Washington Commanders building a new stadium in the city. The Commanders previously played at the original RFK Stadium from 1961-96 before moving to Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland.

The Washington Commanders' plan to return to the site of their former home at RFK Stadium has cleared another significant hurdle.

The Washington D.C. City Council has approved a $3.8 billion project centered around a proposed 65,000-seat stadium for the Washington Commanders, per David Aldridge of The Athletic, who provided more details.
