The Washington Commanders got a big legislative win today, as President Joe Biden has officially signed the “D.C. Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act.” This new bill will allow the District of Columbia to rebuild the campus where the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium sits.

The bill authorizes stadium development, residential and advertising development, and specific purposes.

President Biden’s signing of the “D. C. “The Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act” is a primary victory for Washington, D. C. and its residents.   Washington can, however, move forward on a new vision for the RFK site.   We can’t wait to be a part of this… pic. twitter. com/2OxUJjlXzS

The bill was unanimously passed in the Senate on Dec. 21, after legislators reportedly stayed up all night to iron out the details of the new bill. Now, the Commanders can return back to their home stadium in Washington, D.C.

Following the unanimous passing of the “D.C. Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act” in the Senate on Dec. 21, President Biden has made the act official with his signature.

The Commanders began in the NFL as the Boston Braves in 1932. They would eventually move to Washington D. C. , the team that became the Washington Redskins in 1937.

The then-Redskins called RFK Stadium home from 1961 to 1996, before returning to FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland. The Commanders at FedEx Field, but the team’s lease will end in 2027.

The new year and the passage of the bill gives commanders and the District of Columbia time to plan the renovation of the RFK Stadium campus. It will be interesting to see if the Commanders will have to play on a neutral field while their new stadium is built.

D. C. Mayor Muriel Bowser released a statement on the bill passed by President Biden. The readings:

“It is a good day for DC when we finally have control of our own destiny at the RFK campus. We are ready and optimistic about unlocking the full potential of this space, and with more than 170 acres of land we can do it all – deliver housing, economic opportunity, green space, recreation, sports, and more.

This moment is the result of years of tireless and strategic advocacy, ordinary collaboration, and bipartisan leadership. We thank President Biden, Rep. James Comer, and Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton for their important work in ensuring the success of this bill.

The Commanders have built something special, especially this season. With a new head coach in Dan Quinn and the ingredients of a franchise quarterback in Jayden Daniels, things are good for the Washington team.

It’s possible Daniels will win Rookie of the Year and the Commanders will be in the playoffs. Now, they will most likely return to their original stadium in the near future.
