RFK Stadium Approved for Demolition, Paving Way for Commanders' Potential Return to D.C.

The National Park Service has greenlit the demolition of RFK Stadium, setting the stage for the Washington Commanders to potentially relocate their home base back to the nation's capital.

RFK Stadium, a historic sports venue in Washington, D.C., has received approval from the National Park Service for demolition.
The demolition decision follows assessments that concluded the impact on the environment would be minimal.
Washington Commanders, previously known as the Redskins, are considering a return to the site, which was their home until 1997.
The stadium has not been used since 2019 and has become a symbol of past sports glories and current dilapidation.
Local and federal agreements are necessary for the demolition to proceed, and plans for a new stadium are linked to the team's potential return.
