Do those living by RFK Stadium want the Commanders as neighbors?

It’s been nearly 30 years since the Burgundy and Gold played their last game at RFK Stadium.

Now, after the D.C. Council advanced the $3.7 billion RFK redevelopment project, the Commanders are closer to coming back to the District.

While a lot of fans are excited about the possibility, what about the people it will affect most?

WTOP went to East Capitol Street in Southeast D.C. to find out if those living near RFK Stadium want the Washington Commanders as neighbors.

Jamal Lee was playing with his dog in the grassy area outside the D.C. Armory and in front of RFK Stadium. He told WTOP’s Jimmy Alexander that the Commanders’ return is keeping him from leaving the neighborhood.

Someone who is not as excited is Fantasia Grah
