The Maryland House Appropriations Committee endorsed legislation Monday that would allow the state’s stadium authority to study the feasibility of building a new D.C. United soccer stadium in Prince George’s County.

The state could spend up to $200,000 to study the site and financing options for the project. Stadium authority officials would need to return to state budget committees to brief them on study results before they could be granted any design money for the project.

An earlier version of the bill would have allowed the Maryland Stadium Authority to sell bonds to build the potentially $195 million venue, but that provision has been removed.
