The District of Columbia Council is set to vote Aug. 1 on revised legislation that could allow the Washington Commanders to return to the site of their former home at RFK Stadium.

The Washington Commanders took a major step Thursday toward getting final approval to build their next stadium in the District of Columbia, by reworking the agreement in a more favorable way for the local government.

D.C. Council is done dragging its feet. Next week, they’ll vote on the proposed Commanders facility, to be built at the site of RFK Stadium. Via the Washington Post, the vote is set for Friday, August 1. D.C. Council previously set public hearings on the project for Tuesday and Wednesday.

A deal between the Washington Commanders and the D.C. City Council to build a new stadium at the old RFK site is gaining momentum, with a potential final Council vote next week, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the discussions.

Under the terms of the deal, D.C. will own the stadium and most of the parking at the complex. The team will lease them from the District for a small fee, so the team doesn’t have to pay property taxes. The revised deal doesn't change that.

The Washington Commanders are still in the early stages of the preseason, as the outlook of the team is becoming clearer by each day. Washington has already seen enough from one player to commit to him for the future. READ MORE: Commanders star reveals the powerful story behind his new number

Mike Florio checks in on the latest updates around the Washington Commanders' new stadium, with the implication that a deal will get done after calls from President Trump for a name change.

The deal would funnel an estimated $674M into the District’s general fund from the stadium’s operations over 30 years, and it would make the team responsible for $50M in community benefits and allocate $600M from the District’s ballpark fee for future Metro improvements at the site. It also dictates that the team must set up offices in D.C.

President Trump can't unilaterally block a stadium deal for the Washington Commanders to return to DC. But he has ways he can try to intervene.

The $1.1 billion proposal needs seven votes to pass, and supporters currently have five confirmed “yes” votes.
