If the Washington Commanders are sold, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin is ready to talk business.
Youngkin told Bloomberg that he’s willing to engage whoever buys the Commanders about a new stadium, telling the outlet that he continues to believe Virginia would be a “great place” to host a professional football team. The Republican governor said he thinks there’s a “real opportunity” to negotiate with the Commanders.
Talks for the Commanders’ next stadium to land in Virginia broke down last year, but in December, Youngkin proposed spending $500,000 in a state budget amendment to study ways to lure the NFL franchise to the state.
