From the office of Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton:
“Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) announced that the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources marked up and passed their bill to direct the federal government to transfer administrative jurisdiction over the RFK Stadium campus to D.C. for up to 99 years. If passed by the full Senate and signed into law by the president, the bill would allow D.C. to use the land for stadium redevelopment, commercial and residential development, or other public purposes. Norton has worked on prior versions of the bill aimed at revitalizing RFK Stadium campus, which at 174 acres is the largest unused track of land in the District, since 2017. This is the first time any version of the legislation has been considered by the Senate. (more…)

(And super annoyed because I’ve been going since forever – and when they released more tickets they never emailed me although I was signed up!) But now many tickets are posted for sale on Craigslist. How can I know they are legit? (more…)
