LANDOVER, Md. (DC News Now) -- A continuing resolution to avert a federal government shutdown also contains a provision that would give D.C. control over the 177-acre site of RFK Stadium, paving the way for the Washington Commanders to possibly leave Maryland and return the team to the District. The Commanders franchise has called Landover, Md.'s Northwest Stadium, formerly FedExField, its home since 1997. The continuing resolution is expected to make its way through Congress by the end of the week. DC takes ‘giant’ step forward to control RFK Stadium site Maryland is celebrating several wins included within the continuing resolution, such as full funding for a rebuild of Baltimore's fallen Francis Scott Key Bridge and support for the state's Air National Guard. Sources say Maryland Governor Wes Moore signed a memorandum of understanding with the Commanders on Tuesday, saying that if the team leaves, the Commanders pay to knock down the Prince George's County stadium and help rebuild something else on the site. "I think the team belongs in D.C. I'd love to keep it out here in Maryland, but I think the team belongs in D.C., that's where all the history is," said Commanders fan Louis Duke outside of Northwest Stadium on Wednesday. The team is making new history this season with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels at the helm. His stellar performance on the field has fans renewing hope for a brighter future for the team.  Melissa and Paul Holdren have been season ticket holders with the team for 15 years. They say they have enjoyed watching it all unfold at Northwest Stadium, but said Wednesday that they, "pay more and more every year, and get less and less." Maryland Treasurer Dereck Davis expressed his frustration over it all during a meeting of the state Board of Public Works Wednesday morning. "We're all getting caught up in how well they're performing, but [the Commanders] have pitted two regions against each other. Two regions that have been traditionally strong allies," Davis said of D.C. and Maryland. "I'm glad that we've been able to reach some sort of amicable path forward." As for what people in the Landover area want to see if the team leaves and the stadium comes down, more affordable housing is at the top of the list for people who spoke to DC News Now on Wednesday. Congress unveils spending bill that includes funding for Francis Scott Key Bridge rebuild DC News Now reached out to Maryland Senators Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen for comment and received the following joint statement from the two lawmakers: Our state has served as the proud home of the Commanders for over 20 years and, as the team looks to the future, Maryland continues to make the case for them to stay. In discussions around the RFK legislation, our intent has never been to block the land transfer, but to ensure a fair process and a level playing field. As the Commanders make decisions about their future, it’s also critical that the future success of our communities is part of the equation. That’s why our efforts around this land transfer have been aimed at getting assurances from the Commanders on these issues. We’re glad to report good-faith negotiations between the Commanders and Maryland have provided a framework for the timely redevelopment of the Northwest stadium site and will help ensure the site serves the best interests of the surrounding Maryland neighborhoods, should the team choose to move.  Senators Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen (both D-Md.)
