Congress debates bill to allow D.C. stadium return for Washington Commanders, with deadline looming.

Congress is considering a bipartisan bill that could grant Washington D.C. a 99-year lease on federal land, potentially allowing the Washington Commanders NFL team to return after 28 years in Maryland. The Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, their former home, has fallen into disrepair. The NFL and Commanders have agreed to honor the team's old Redskins logo, but the bill needs Senate approval by the end of December; otherwise, it will expire, requiring a restart in 2025.
