Mayor Muriel Bowser says the District of Columbia and the Commanders reached an agreement to construct a new home for the football team in the city.

Ward 6 Councilmember Charles Allen has been vocal about his opposition to the use of taxpayer dollars for a new stadium. He called it a bad deal for DC because he says the stadium will be unused 335 days a year.

The development, anchored by a roofed, 65,000-seat stadium, will be funded primarily by the Commanders, who would put up $2.7 billion, while D.C. taxpayers would pay $500 million.
