The Washington Commanders' plans to return to Washington D.C. faced a significant setback after a key provision that would have allowed the city to control land for a new stadium was excluded from a recently passed spending bill. The provision aimed to transfer federal land to the district, which would have greatly increased the chances of the Commanders building a stadium at the historic RFK Stadium site. Without this provision, the team may have to consider building at their current location in Landover, Maryland, where state funding has been pledged for revitalization efforts.

• The Commanders' stadium plans in D.C. are hindered by the removal of a crucial land provision.
• The team may have to focus on their current stadium site in Maryland as an alternative.
