D.C. Council split on whether to support bringing Commanders to RFK
Briefly

The proposed $3.7 billion deal to bring the Washington Commanders back to D.C. is framed as nearly certain, with Mayor Bowser celebrating the agreement. However, opposition remains strong within the D.C. Council, where members express concerns about the financial burden, which could exceed $1 billion for taxpayers. Council member Charles Allen argues the council needs to weigh in on the mayor's negotiation. The deal requires a majority council vote by mid-July for public financing, highlighting significant hurdles ahead despite initial enthusiasm.
Mayor Muriel E. Bowser has hailed the $3.7 billion plan to bring the Washington Commanders back to D.C. as almost inevitable, yet faces significant council opposition.
Josh Harris stated that the deal 'speaks for itself'; however, it still requires a majority vote from D.C. Council, amid uncertainty over public financing.
