WHAT WE FOUND

The spending bill, proposed on Dec. 17, authorizes the transfer of administrative control of the RFK Stadium site in Washington, D.C. from the federal government to the District of Columbia, which could potentially lead to a new stadium for the NFL’s Washington Commanders. The bill explicitly states no federal funds would be allocated for the construction of a new stadium.

The 177-acre RFK Stadium site is currently owned and operated by the federal government. U.S. law says federal and D.C. authorities can transfer control of any property between each other, but ownership of the property remains with the federal government unless Congress votes to sell the property.

In this case, the continuing resolution only gives Washington, D.C. the power to decide what to do with the property and any buildings on it, but the land itself is still owned by the federal government.

The District of Columbia would be responsible for the costs for maintaining the land and the bill spells out that, “the District may not use Federal funds for stadium purposes on the [RFK] Campus, including training facilities, offices, and other structures necessary to support a stadium.”
