Mayor Muriel Bowser says the District of Columbia and the Commanders reached an agreement to construct a new home for the football team in the city.

The Commanders will put up $2.7 billion for the development, anchored by a roofed, 65,000-seat stadium, while cost for D.C. taxpayers is expected to top $1 billion.

The Washington Commanders and Washington D.C. agreed to a deal to construct a new football stadium at the site of RFK Stadium, where they played from 1961 to 1996, they announced Monday.
