Overview

• The council rejected most last‑minute amendments after the team warned of “unworkable” new demands, adopting only technical changes tied to environmental covenants and routing some fees to community reinvestment.
• The framework commits about $2.7 billion from the Commanders and roughly $1.1 billion from the District for infrastructure, utilities, parking and related public works.
• The project centers on a 65,000-seat covered stadium at the RFK site with a large mixed‑use district that envisions 5,000–6,000 housing units, with at least 30% designated as affordable.
• Officials plan permitting and site work next, targeting a 2026 groundbreaking and a 2030 opening, while the team’s current lease in Landover runs through 2027.
• Congress’ transfer of the RFK parcel to D.C. earlier this year enabled the city-led redevelopment, which now awaits Mayor Muriel Bowser’s signature.
