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.

The federal government is broke.

If the land is worth $500 million, then they need to sell it at market value.
