Demolition at RFK Stadium is expected to start in late January, according to Events DC. Events DC announced on its website that starting Monday, Jan. 13, there would be more activity in the area around the stadium.

Proponents of a new stadium, even if funded by taxpayer money, have pointed to a study released in June 2024 by the D.C. Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development that estimated an NFL team in the city would annually generate $1.26 billion in economic output, 2,095 jobs, and $26 million in tax revenue.
