Meanwhile, the old RFK Stadium sits empty in Washington, D.C. It’s a crumbling monument to the 1970s. The team hasn’t played a home game there in decades, but fans still cry about it.

The D.C. government is desperate to get the team back. The Commanders are playing hardball. They want a new stadium, fully paid for by taxpayers. Spoiler: that’s not going well.
