FedExField (originally Jack Kent Cooke Stadium) is an American football stadium located in Landover, Maryland, 5 miles east of Washington, D.C.
The stadium is the home of the Washington Commanders of the National Football League.
From 2004 until 2010, it had the NFL's largest seating capacity over 91000.
In 2021, the capacity was reduced to 58000.
The Washington Commanders are a professional American football team based in the Washington metropolitan area.
The Commanders compete in the National Football League as a member of the National Football Conference East division.
The team has played more than 1,000 games and is one of only five in the NFL with more than 600 total wins.
Washington was among the first NFL franchises with a fight song "Hail to the Commanders", played by their marching band after every touchdown scored by the team at home.
The franchise is owned by a group headed by Josh Harris, who acquired the team from Daniel Snyder for $6.05 billion in 2023.
The Commanders were founded by George Preston Marshall as the Boston Braves in 1932.
The team changed its name to the Redskins the following year before moving to Washington, D.C., in 1937, to become the Washington Redskins.
The Redskins' branding was controversial for decades.
In 2020, pressure from several NFL and team sponsors led to its being retired as part of a wave of name changes in the wake of the George Floyd protests, which led to larger awareness of the Native American mascot controversy.
The team played as the Washington Football Team for two seasons before rebranding as the Commanders in 2022.
Washington won the 1937 and 1942 NFL championship games and Super Bowls XVII, XXII, and XXVI.
