Despite the football team’s commitments, Md. Gov. Wes Moore has not countersigned the MOU. Discussions continue in Congress on legislation that could result in a new Commanders home at RFK.
The Washington Commanders have agreed to Maryland’s demands for assurances about the future of its stadium in Landover if the team left and built a new home at the RFK Stadium site in D.C., according to documents obtained by The Washington Post, but Maryland Gov. Wes Moore has not yet signed the deal.
In the two-page, nonbinding memorandum of understanding, the team promises to deconstruct Northwest Stadium at its sole expense within 90 days of playing in a new home — at RFK or elsewhere — and plan a redevelopment project there “with projected economic impact at least equivalent” to the stadium it left behind.
