Washington Commanders History
The Washington Commanders were founded as the Boston Braves in 1932 and are one of the original members of the NFL's Eastern Division.
In 1937, they moved to Washington, where they won their first game in D.C. against the New York Giants, and have since become one of the most recognizable professional sports franchises in history. They have 32 members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and one recipient of the Walter Payton NFL Man of The Year Award — Darrell Green. The team has won five league championship titles (1937, 1942, 1982, 1987, and 1991), five conference championships, 15 division championships, and have made 25 playoff appearances.

Washington Commanders at FedExField
Located in Summerfield, Maryland, five miles east of Washington, D.C., FedExField opened in 1997 and has a capacity of 67,717 for Commanders games. The stadium features five levels of seating, including the Bobby Mitchell Level, Joe Gibbs Club Level and Pete Rozelle Upper Level — all named after Pro Football Hall of Famers who made an impact on the Commanders’ career.
The Commanders were also the first NFL team to have a marching band starting in 1937. To this day, the Commanders Marching Band is one of only two professional football marching bands, and continues to entertain fans during pre-game and halftime performances.
