Washington (AP) – When growing in the Washington region, Josh Harris loved his possibilities once or twice a year to see his favorite football team play the RFK stadium, the space of glory on the days when Joe Theismn and John Riggins shake into the trace of 3 Super Bowl championships.
From now on, the owner of the and with his local colleagues and fans of a lifetime, Mitch Rales and Mark Ein, also involved, Harris and his organization are a giant jump closer to approaching the team where they believe it belongs.
The Washington NFL franchise dates back to the national capital as a component of an agreement between the organization and the Government of the Columbia district to build a new stadium as a component of a task for a total of approximately $ four billion. The commanders and Mayor Muriel Bowser announced their contract on Monday to build a new space for the city’s football team on the site of the former RFK Stadium, the position that the franchise called space for more than 3 decades.
“It’s our vision since we bought the team,” said Harris. “We have all experienced the rumble of RFK (and) the fact that we grew up here gave us this vision so as not to look at the concrete in ruins that were there, but in our brain the animated nature of what is Washington’s football. “
The new stadium will open in 2030, with a revolution next year, waiting for the approval of the Columbia District Council.
President Donald Trump published on social networks that “the new stadium agreement is a massive victory for Washington, D. C. ” and the basis of enthusiasts.
The commanders give a contribution to 2. 7 billion dollars, the city that makes an investment of approximately $ 1. 1 billion until 2032 for the stadium, the house, the green area and a sports sports area in 170 acres of land that border the Anacostia river. The stadium, which accommodates another 65,000 people and has a roof to be a position throughout the year for concerts and other events, will only take 16 of those acres.
“It is a wonderful day in our procedure to bring the commanders back home,” Harris said, adding that he and his partners “decide to make the greatest personal investment in the history of D. C. “
24 % of the public budget is under the average of 40 % for new or renewed NFL stages since 2008, to 60 % for Tennessee Titans, 50 % for Jacuars in Jacksonville and 49 % for Buffalo Bills, according to Conventions Sports Sports Sports figures
The “Welcome to DC” of the Mambo sauce resisted the speakers, while Bowser, Harris and the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, entered the National Press Club room. They spoke in front of a backdrop of a backdrop, “welcome home”, and Goodell proclaimed that the new stadium increases “radically” the possibilities that Washington is the host of a Super Bowl.
“We are running with Commissioner Dur (but also) Taylor Swift, an event, an act,” said Harris. “This is D. C. and do this more than a stadium and make it attractive. “
The planned assets are put in Washington, Maryland and Virginia since the acquisition of Dan Snyder’s team in 2022. The recent maximum progress came here when Congress followed an invoice that moved the land of the RFK stadium to D. C. Signed by former President Joe Biden in early January, after Capitol Hill had introduced through Harris and Goodell at the end of the final year.
This opened to allow the Demonid ball to demolish the old stadium and update it with a progression for combined use, adding the stadium.
“This land has been unleashed and underutilized for too long,” Bowser said. “What our agreement offers with the Washington commanders is the fastest and most short path to expand the RFK campus and only the delivery of sports and entertainment, but that provides housing, jobs, recreational and economic expands. “
Washington played Landover, Maryland, since in 1997. The leasing of commanders at Northwest Stadium in Landover ended in 2027.
The commanders deserve to continue playing there until the new stadium is in a position and they will commit to rebuilding the box in suburban Maryland. Gov. Wes Moore said the state had worked hard to keep the commanders, while adding assets was “very interested in an imaginable return to the team’s historic, not secular home at RFK Stadium. “
“Although we organize a very competitive offering that offers not only in the stadium, but a greater revitalization of the region, we also prepare for the option that Washington’s commanders return to Washington,” Moore said in a statement. “We need the most productive commanders in Washington, and we are impatient for worrying about the region’s partners to announce the economic energy and investment of networks in the writing of Landover’s next bankruptcy. “
The team played at RFK Stadium, 2 miles (3. 22 kilometers) east of the U. S. Capitol, from 1961 to 1996 before moving to Maryland. Harris and several co-owners, Rales and Ein, grew up as Washington football enthusiasts at the time, who included the glory days of 3 Super Bowl championships from 1982 to 1991.
Harris said the resolution to depend on the site, until seven of the thirteen members of the municipal council vote to approve the allocation, less about nostalgia so much than “a deep connection with the understanding of the importance of the location” in the Rue du Capitole and the monument to Washington.
Goodell, like Harris, grew up going to the Games to the RFK stadium and a wonderful defender of realization of this.
“I was thinking on the road here today (by the way) all the intelligent times in which I went to the RFK stadium,” said Goodell. “And now, a new generation of young people can delight, and I think it is wonderful for this community. “
