Commanders Field

Commanders Field is an American football stadium located in Landover, Maryland, 5 miles (8.0 km) east of Washington, D.C. The stadium is the home of the Washington Commanders of the National Football League (NFL). From 2004 until 2010, it had the NFL's largest seating capacity: over 91,000. By 2023, the capacity had been reduced to about 65,000.[13][14] The stadium is owned and operated by the Commanders, with non-NFL events managed by team owner Josh Harris's company Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment (HBSE). The stadium opened in 1997 as Jack Kent Cooke Stadium; from 1999 to 2024, it was called FedExField because FedEx bought the naming rights. In 2024, FedEx relinquished those rights and the franchise temporarily applied the team name to the stadium while seeking a new sponsor.[15]
