RE: Funding Certification for Stadium Maintenance Fund Agreement between the District of
Columbia and DC Football Stadium LLC (“StadCo”)
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide a funding certification for the Stadium Maintenance
Fund Agreement (the “Agreement”).
The Robert F. Kennedy Campus Redevelopment Amendment Act of 2025 (D.C. Law 26-54; D.C. Code
§§ 10-1605.01, et seq.) (the “RFK Act”) established the Stadium Maintenance Fund (the “Fund”) as a
non-lapsing special fund into which Excess Stadium Revenue Funds shall be deposited.
Under the Agreement, DC Football Stadium LLC (“StadCo”), the tenant under the lease (the “stadium
lease”) for the new football stadium at the RFK Campus, will be entitled to request reimbursement for
the costs of the maintenance, repair, and capital expenses of the stadium in amounts limited to those
funds deposited into the Fund. On or about the date of signing the Agreement, it is anticipated that the
Mayor will delegate responsibility to administer the stadium lease and the Agreement to a District
agency or instrumentality (the “administering agency”). Any anticipated future requirement will be
included in the administering agency’s annual fiscal year budget and long-term financial plan, and all
financial obligations are subject to annual budget appropriation and anti-deficiency limitations set forth
in the Agreement.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
