Fed Ex Field Stadium

Fed Ex Field Stadium:FedEx Field (originally Jack Kent Cooke Stadium) is a stadium located in the unincorporated area near the Capital Beltway (I-495) in Prince George’s County, Maryland, USA, near where the old Capital Centre (later called USAir Arena). FedExField is home to the Washington Redskins football team.
FedEx Field was built as a replacement to the place of the Redskins, RFK Stadium. In 1994, Jack Kent Cooke wanted to build a new stadium on the grounds adjacent to Laurel Park Racecourse on Whiskey Bottom and Brock Bridge roads. Lack of parking and support has prompted a second choice of sites.
The stadium opened in 1997 as Jack Kent Cooke Stadium, in honor of the recently deceased owner of the team and the stadium site was known as Raljon. Before the stadium was built, Wilson Farm was not. The name “Raljon” is a portmanteau of the sons of the first Jack Kent Cooke names – “Ralph” and “John”. It is noteworthy that Cook was even able to register Raljon with United States Postal Service as a legal address for the alternative 20785 zip code Landover, Maryland, where the stadium and went to some lengths requires the use of media in Raljon datelines from the stadium.
Special exit, exit 16 (Arena Drive), was built from Interstate 495, the capital Beltway.
After the team and stadium were purchased by Daniel Snyder, the names of human rights have been sold to FedEx in November 1999 by an average of 7.6 million dollars per year; FedEx Field was replaced by Robert F. Kennedy Stadium in Washington, DC, as a home about the Redskins. FedEx Field was not football season, in which the stadium failed to sell their tickets without a premium. Even if this is the biggest stadium NFL’s, the waiting list for Redskins season tickets had reached more than 30 years. Although the Redskins have never sold the stadium, the team never had the game blackout on local television, because the team does not count “premium seats at the club” when calculating the corrupt.
Over the past six years in FedEx Field, Redskins fans have set regular-season home paid attendance record. In 2005 the group drew record 716,998 fans in general. December 30, 2007, 27.6 to win against the Dallas Cowboys was the most popular game in the history of the Redskins, with 90 910 fans in the stands, to Washington clinch playoff spot.
