Coming off Thursday night’s loss in front of 65,000 raucous Philadelphia Eagles fans, the Washington Commanders may face an even more unreceptive crowd in the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
The panel is slated to consider a host of bills Tuesday, including one that would grant the District of Columbia a 99-year lease for the old Robert F. Kennedy Stadium site, which is owned by the National Park Service.
Some hope such a plan could be a first step toward luring the Washington football team back within city limits after three decades in Landover, Md. But at least one senator on the committee is unimpressed.
