ASHBURN, VA. -- The Commanders' return to Washington is finally official as the District of Columbia Council voted in favor of the measure once more -- an expected outcome given its vote more than a month ago.
The Council voted 11-2 on Wednesday to approve the RFK Stadium Project, allowing the team to return to the site it called home for more than three decades.
But a vote that had been considered a formality included last-minute requests that Commanders president Mark Clouse said could have jeopardized the agreement.
The Council already had approved the measure in a 9-3 vote on Aug.
