NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell emphasized the importance of the Washington Commanders returning to D.C. and rebuilding at the RFK Stadium site. Citing the site's potential as an economic driver, he reflected on his childhood experiences attending games in the District. Goodell articulated the benefits such a move would bring to local fans and communities. The decision comes amid the franchise's revival under new ownership and the recent passage of legislation transferring control of land around the site to the District, indicating potential for revitalization.
It's important for the team to play in an area that is beneficial for the fans. It's going to be beneficial for those communities and it's going to be beneficial to the team.
I remember that as a kid growing up, the power of that vision and what it means to that community. It's a really powerful thing.
