Members of the Virginia State Legislature are moving forward with a measure intended to lure the Washington Commanders out of Maryland to build their new stadium.
- $1 billion: the amount the measure would allow the Commanders to forgo in future tax payments to help finance the new stadium.
- Sports betting: is also expected to play a major role in Virginia’s attempt to secure the team’s relocation.
- Virginia Football Stadium Authority: would be created if the legislation is passed. The Authority would be tasked with financing the new stadium.
- 1997: the year that the then-Washington Redskins took the field in Landover, MD at Fedex Field for the first time.
- 2027: the year that Fedex Field’s lease expires.
