A Capital Revolution

For decades, Washington football was stuck in a fog of mismanagement. That fog has lifted. Under new ownership and the electric play of Jayden Daniels, the franchise has been reborn. The energy in the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) is reminiscent of the RGIII year or the glory days of Joe Gibbs.

Fans who vowed never to return have dusted off their burgundy and gold. The "Commanders" name, once controversial, is starting to forge its own memories. Winning cures everything, and Washington is remembering what it feels like to be a football town again.

The Band and The Song

Washington has a unique collegiate atmosphere thanks to its marching band. Founded in 1937, it is the oldest marching band in the NFL. When they strike up "Hail to the Commanders" after a touchdown, the nostalgia hits hard. It connects the modern team to the history of Riggins, Monk, and Green. It’s a tradition that survived the rebrand because it IS the soul of the stadium.

Tailgating in Landover

Getting to the stadium in Landover can be a trek (traffic on the Beltway is no joke), but the tailgate scene is vibrant. The RedZone lot is where the diehards live. You'll see "Hogettes" (fans in pig snouts), elaborate BBQ setups, and a diverse mix regarding of the city itself. It’s a community that stuck together through the lean years and is now ready to party.
