Acting County Executive Tara Jackson's Statement on Washington Commanders' Announcement

LARGO, MD – “Prince George’s County has been proud to call the Washington Commanders our home team for nearly three decades. As the team begins its next chapter, we look forward to hosting them over the next five years and working with the Commanders organization on a bold vision to redevelop the Northwest Stadium site into something truly transformational.

“This moment presents an extraordinary opportunity—not just for football fans, but for families and small businesses across the County. We remain fully committed to redeveloping the Landover site into a dynamic, mixed-use sports and entertainment district that enhances the fan experience and benefits our community year-round. Anchored by the growing Blue Line Corridor, this project is about more than football. It’s about jobs, transit-oriented development, cultural vibrancy, and creating the kinds of amenities our residents have long deserved.

“We’ve already committed $500 million in public investment to bring signature venues and infrastructure upgrades to this corridor—investments that have helped spark nearly $2 billion in private development, including $750 million from minority developers. The future of the site holds real promise, and we’re excited to keep building on this momentum.

“Our work continues to ensure that Prince Georgians are not just spectators but stakeholders in the region’s growth. The team’s legacy here will remain a meaningful part of that story. We look forward to cheering on the Commanders continuing on-field success and we are ready for what comes next.”
