RFK Stadium Bill Advances Out of Senate Committee

Nov 19, 2024

The RFK Stadium bill advanced out of a Senate committee Tuesday, leaving one more significant step before it heads to President Joe Biden’s desk.

The legislation—which would make D.C. a player for the next home for a new Commanders stadium—passed the Energy and Natural Resources Committee by a 17-2 margin after Sen. Steve Daines (R., Mont.) backed off his opposition to the legislation that would give D.C. control of the federally controlled land where the team played for decades. That leaves about a month before Congress is expected to adjourn on Dec. 20—the deadline to pass legislation to avoid a government shutdown—to get the bill through the Senate.
