As the D.C. Council mulls a $3.7 billion plan to build a new Washington Commanders stadium and adjoining development on the banks of the Anacostia River, most D.C. residents are in favor of using city money to help fund the project, a stark change from opinions three years ago.

A 55 percent majority of D.C. residents favor using about $850 million in District funds to help finance the development around a new stadium on the RFK Stadium site, while 39 percent oppose the idea, according to a Washington Post-Schar School poll.

That compares with 47 percent of D.C. residents who supported city funding for a stadium project when asked in 2024 and 30 percent who did so in 2022. Those prior polls did not specify how much city money would be used or where a prospective stadium would be located. Between the 2022 and 2024 polls, Josh Harris purchased the NFL franchise from Daniel Snyder, whose more than two decades as owner were marked by on- and off-field controversies and competitive struggles.
