The push to bring the Commanders back to “old D.C.” by building a domed stadium on the RFK Stadium campus took another step on Wednesday as the D.C. Council prepares for a pair of public hearings on the plan. 

According to a report from NBC4, D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson reached an agreement on adjusted financial terms with the Commanders. With the chairman on board, local lawmakers could vote on the proposal as soon as Aug. 1.

The Commanders and Mr. Mendelson’s office have not commented on the report. 

The initial proposal for the $3.8 billion stadium saw a $2.7 billion investment from the Commanders, with the remaining funds coming from the city for supporting infrastructure and parking garages. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced the deal in April without receiving advance approval from the D.C. Council. 

Over the last three months, local legislators have expressed concerns about needing more time to review the proposal. The Commanders have urged the city to act quickly so they can break ground and open the stadium by 2030. 

The D.C. Council will host a public forum regarding the stadium on Tuesday. More than 475 people have already signed up to speak at the event. A second hearing on July 30 will allow lawmakers to question Commanders executives about the deal.
