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.

WASHINGTON — DC Council Chair Phil Mendelson has reached a deal with the Commanders on an amended stadium agreement which he will put before the Council in a vote within days of next week’s public hearing, sources tell WUSA9. The Commanders did not respond to a request for comment.

The president threatened to block a deal for the Washington Commanders’ new stadium if the team did not bow to his demand.
