Commanders’ Comeback? RFK Stadium Deal Could Transform D.C.

By The DCDailyLetter Team | July 26, 2025

Washington, D.C. is buzzing with talk of a major deal that could bring the Washington Commanders back to RFK Stadium. City leaders project the redevelopment could pump up to $950 million into the District, boosting local businesses, creating jobs, and reigniting football fever in the capital.

After months of negotiations, Mayor Muriel Bowser’s team is close to sealing the agreement, which would transform the RFK site into a modern hub for sports and community events. “This is about more than football—it’s about uniting our city,” a council leader said.

Local fans are thrilled. “Having the Commanders back in D.C. would be huge,” said Anacostia resident and lifelong fan Jamal Carter. “RFK is where this team belongs.” But some neighbors worry about traffic and costs.

The D.C. Council is set to vote soon, and the decision could reshape D.C.’s sports scene. Will the Commanders’ return kick off a new era? Tell us what you think in the comments or tag us with #DCRFKReturn.
