EAGAN, Minn. — The NFL is set to make league and sports industry history Tuesday, even if the outcome has been increasingly a foregone conclusion. The league will hold a special meeting here, where a vote is expected to formally approve the introduction of private equity in team ownership. The result of months of study and consideration, the move will make the NFL the last, but the largest and most notable, of the major U.S. sports leagues, to allow this type of outside investment.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

The Commanders are still actively pursuing a new stadium, but a lot more patience is going to be required from both the team’s leadership and the fan base. Speaking on Sunday before the team’s final preseason game, Commanders owner Josh Harris (above) said 2030 is now a “realistic target” for a new facility to open. The team is currently tied to Commanders Field (previously known as FedEx Field) through at least 2027. But additional time is certainly going to be required to settle where a new facility will be located, going through numerous initial steps, and then a construction period lasting at least two years.
