WASHINGTON (7News) — The Commanders are expressing significant concerns with new amendments to the D.C. stadium deal.

Several new amendments focused on funding and affordable housing are “unworkable” and “impractical,” according to Commanders officials.

Council members said the vote will pass, with or without the changes.

Those most impacted by this stadium showed the community was divided. Some were praying for the vote to go through, while others said they hoped that the vote would get stalled.

As a plumber and part of a union that said its workers are guaranteed jobs at the stadium, Elishauntae Lindsay said she felt encouraged with the opportunities in front of her.

“I’m super excited about it because I’m from here, literally born and raised right across the bridge, Minnesota Avenue,” said Lindsay. “To be able to work on a project as big as this, bringing the Commanders home to where they haven’t been in so long, and we know everyone wants them here. I’m just hoping and praying that we get this, and it goes through because it would be a dream to be able to work in the stadium.”

Others like Shaila Huq said there are too many loose ends in the deal. She said there was a negative window of opportunity for challenges and destruction for D.C. residents.

“We all just want to ensure that the promises that the Commanders have made, as well as the Council Members and the Mayor have discussed, are accurately reflected in the legislation,” Huq said.

Jimmie Williams has lived near the stadium for more than 25 years. He said that he is for the deal, but understands the concerns of his neighbors.

“For a lot of people that are close to where the stadium is, who are right there, ground zero with the stadium, I understand that,” William said. “Environmental concerns, parking concerns, congestion concerns, that area has had it before, but this is different. We’re talking about 2026 and beyond. So, I do share their concerns with that.”

All residents agreed that the deal will change D.C.

“It’s coming, it’s going to happen, the council’s going to vote on it,” Williams said. “I do expect that the Commanders are going to do very well by us and by the city.”

“If there is any type of no vote or hold, it would be very likely a reflection of concerns of the residents,” Huq said.

There was no hold when the council voted yes on the deal.
