Washington’s NFL franchise is set to return to the nation’s capital as part of an agreement between the organization and the District of Columbia government to build on the site of the old RFK Stadium.

The NFL franchise has been stuck in one of the NFL's worst stadiums, with a new home stuck in limbo at the old RFK Stadium site. But a new report on Sunday led to the news on Monday: the Commanders are bringing the franchise back to Washington D.C. proper, with a video narrated by the great Joe Theismann.

Almost 30 years after leaving Washington, D.C., to play in Landover, Maryland, the Commanders are prepared to return to their roots. This week the team struck a deal with the District of Columbia to construct an all-new stadium complex, as the Commanders confirmed Monday, and could open the venue as soon as 2030.
