A provision that would have given D.C. control of more than 170 acres at the site that still houses RFK Stadium was excluded from a spending bill that passed in Congress on Friday, a blow to the Commanders' hopes of returning to the area.

A new revised spending bill to avoid government shutdown has been introduced to the House. It doesn't address the Commanders or RFK Stadium.

A provision to transfer the land that is the site of the old RFK Stadium from the federal government to the District of Columbia is no longer included in Congress' slimmed-down, short-term spending bill that lawmakers are racing to pass before a government shutdown.
