With the potential sale of the Commanders, the team’s stadium search is stuck in limbo. A three-jurisdiction race may become a real possibility. The NFL commissioner and D.C. mayor spoke, and Goodell pledged support for the RFK Stadium land.
On Dec. 2, one month after team owner Daniel Snyder announced he was exploring the possibility of selling all or part of the team, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser that the league supported her efforts to obtain the RFK Stadium site from the federal government because he wanted D.C. to have a seat at the table in the Commanders’ efforts to build a new stadium, according to two people with direct knowledge of the call.
The lame-duck effort was Bowser’s boldest yet to gain control of RFK, and it circumvented Norton and D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson . For months, Norton had said she would not introduce RFK legislation in Congress until Bowser and Mendelson“[The mayor’s office] knew it was a Hail Mary,” said one person with knowledge of the city’s plans, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing process.
