The Washington Football Team finally has a new name. Now will it get a new home?
Local politicians and pundits wasted little time sharing their opinions about where the Washington Commanders should play after the football team’s new name and burgundy, black and gold uniforms and helmets were unveiled on the “Today” show Wednesday morning.
D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) tweeted her endorsement of a return to the District for the renamed franchise, which currently plays at FedEx Field in Landover, Md.
“Washington’s football franchise has had a storied history, and we are excited that today they will begin a new, necessary chapter as the Washington Commanders,” Bowser wrote. “… The next chapter for the Washington Commanders should be a return to winning, right here in DC.”
