The Washington Commanders' new regime has gotten off to a strong start both on and off the field, and it appears that more things are breaking the NFC East team's way with the hopes of returning to the old RFK stadium site getting a much-needed boost.
Per the Washington Post, the Senate committee has given a potential passage for the franchise to return to the stadium it once played in for over 30 years.
The Post also stated that if things go well, the Energy and Natural Resources Committee would give D.C. the go-ahead to have control of the site and would, therefore, allow a major redevelopment, which would include a new stadium for the Commanders.
So it appears that Washington is one small step closer to returning to the site that saw them play their home games for over three decades, but there is still a long way to go if the Commanders are to return to the stadium they once called home as Congress still controls the land and would need to give D.C total control to give any hope of a return to the site.
The franchise's want to return to where it all began is another positive step taken after a cleaning of house at the end of last season paved the way for significant change within the organization from top to bottom.
Now with Josh Harris as owner, Adam Peters as general manager and Dan Quinn the head coach, good vibes are finally coming from the NFC franchise, something that couldn't be said over the last couple of years.
While there is still a long way to go before the Commanders can get their wish, with some opposed to the move back to the RFK site, this latest news is at least a step in the right direction.
