Football will soon be returning to Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium.
Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Washington Commanders announced plans to build a new sports complex on the site of RFK Stadium in southeast D.C. The team will spend some $2.7 billion developing the stadium itself, while the city will contribute more than $1 billion to furnish parking and transportation facilities. The new stadium marks a return to the nation’s capital for the Commanders: The then-Washington Redskins played at RFK from 1961-1996, and have played in the Maryland suburb of Landover since.
