A second vote will be scheduled for September and will require the green light from nine members of the council.

Supporters said they are excited about the possibility of walking to a Commanders game, as well as promises of community development and union jobs.

The Washington Commanders' plans for a new stadium on the old RFK Stadium site in Washington D.C. took a major step forward on Friday as the D.C. City Council voted in favor (9-3) of the $3.8 billion redevelopment.
