What are your thoughts on the Washington Commanders returning to the District?

Markell, Southeast D.C.
“They should because they’re not a Maryland team — why should D.C. people have to go all the way out there? I think it will bring more fans to the games.”

Vanessa Crawford, Southeast D.C.
“I love it, they’re coming back home! A lot of people in the community complained about parking, but they’re gonna have a big parking lot like they always did!”

Sonny, Southeast D.C.
“Airbnbs are gonna go up, the real estate close to RFK is gonna go up because people, or even football players, would wanna live close to the stadium. It’s an overall good look for the city.”

Bruce Charles Banks, Northwest D.C.
“Trump can’t stop that! They should have never left. I haven’t seen a game in a minute but when they come back, I’m going!”
