Why should the federal government pay for a new stadium for the Commanders? Let Bowser and the local DC pols handle that. Tomorrow I’ll be driving past the abandoned and decaying RFK Stadium. If DC wants a new stadium, tear that down and build one there. I have to say they did a good job with Nationals Stadium. No reason they can’t do the same for a football venue. (The stadium in Raljon now called Northwest Field ((after the credit union)) was Jack Kent Cooke’s baby. It’s a bad location and a bad facility.)

As I understand it, it's not about giving them money, it's about giving them permission to build a new stadium where the decaying old one sits. As it stands the feds control the land and DC wants control so they can build over the old RFK stadium.

If I'm right, this is one of the special interest items that I actually don't care if it happens.
