A campaign group named 'Homes Not Stadiums' is seeking to block the construction of a new Washington Commanders NFL stadium at the RFK Stadium site through a ballot initiative. The group aims to have D.C. voters decide the future use of the defunct RFK site by potentially prohibiting any new stadium development there. Organizers are working to get the initiative on the D.C. ballot as early as June 2026. Historically, public votes on funding football stadiums tend to fail, which could influence the outcome of this initiative.

What will happen with the RFK Stadium site? It could end up in the hands of voters, as organizers work to launch a ballot initiative that would explicitly prohibit a new stadium from being built on the site. The initiative could be on the DC ballot as early as June 2026. @WTOP https://t.co/KmHDJVvqFM

A group called "Homes Not Stadiums" is pushing back against the construction of an NFL stadium at RFK – saying they want D.C. voters to weigh in on what should happen at the defunct site. https://t.co/s3TWl7TiPD

Opponents of a D.C. stadium at the RFK site hope to put the issue to a public vote. (And public votes, when it comes to paying for a football stadium, typically fail miserably.) https://t.co/eYLroEGaMl
