D.C. Council Chair Phil Mendelson said on Monday that he would not call D.C. Council to a vote during their August recess – meaning a vote on the RFK Stadium deal could be delayed until mid-September at the earliest.

At least seven lawmakers are needed for Mayor Muriel E. Bowser’s RFK stadium deal with the team to proceed. Before the Washington Commanders can build a $3.7 billion stadium development at the decaying RFK Stadium site, the deal has to go through the D.C. Council.

The Commanders’ RFK stadium plan hinges on a D.C. Council vote and could bring $14B in economic impact, jobs, and major events to the city.
