“What to do with RFK Stadium?” is a question that’s long been lingering in the minds of many D.C. officials, but soon there may be an answer.

The Washington Business Journal reports that Events D.C.—the city’s sports and entertainment authority, and the group in charge of RFK Stadium—is now looking for consultants to help them figure out what to do with the former home of the Washington football team. The contracting request posted on Events D.C.’s web site, is divided into two phases. From WBJ:

The first would study options for the site, including one scenario in which the stadium is demolished within the next decade and another that would continue programming the site with the stadium as is “for the near future.” The second phase would focus on design and development, although Events D.C. could opt to use a separate contractor for that work.

In addition to the contracting requests Events D.C. is looking into, several other ideas as to what to do with the stadium has popped up in recent months. In August, DC2024—the nonprofit that’s working towards D.C.’s bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympics—proposed tearing down the stadium and building an Olympics stadium in its place. Just a few weeks ago, Councilmember and 2014 mayoral candidate Vincent Orange (D-At Large) introduced legislation for the city to look into building a 100,000-seat superdome and sports complex in its place.

The deadline for submitting contract requests is January 3.
