U.S. House passes bill to redevelop RFK Stadium site, open door for Commanders' return to D.C.

The U.S. House of Representatives opened the door for the Washington Commanders' return to D.C. on Wednesday with a successful vote to redevelop the site of the vacant and decrepit RFK Stadium, per the Washington Post.

The D.C. RFK Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act saw strong bipartisan support with 197 Democrats and 151 Republicans voting in favor of the bill, which passed 348-55. The bill will now move to the Senate.

If the bill makes it through both chambers of Congress and gets President Joe Biden's signature, the RFK Stadium site will be turned over to D.
