Amid a jurisdictional tug ofwar over the future home of the Washington Commanders, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore on Wednesday struck an assured posture on his state’s ability to keep the team in Prince George’s County.
“I’m very confident we’re going to put together the most attractive offer for them,” Moore said in an interview with Capital News Service. “I wish I could predict what they’ll do. But I can tell you the thing I do know is no one is going to put together a better package than the state of Maryland.”
Moore did not mention any rival locales by name, but he did allude to the political divisions that tanked other recent stadium deals in the region.
“We’re unified,” Moore said. “There is no daylight between the state leadership, local leadership, federal delegation, et cetera — no daylight. I don’t know if there’s any other jurisdiction that can make that same claim. And I think that that does and should matter to [the Commanders.]”
