Business is booming again for Washington’s ‘sleeping giant’ NFL franchise
Washington has sold more than 20,000 new season tickets for 2023 as fans are excited about the direction of the team under new ownership
After years of struggles both on and off the field, there is renewed excitement about the Washington Commanders, who have sold more than 20,000 new season tickets for the 2023 NFL season.
New ownership, new excitement
The Commanders were sold by Daniel Snyder in June to a group led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, and the new owners have made a number of changes, including hiring Ron Rivera as head coach and bringing in several new players.
Fans are excited about the potential of the team, which is led by a young and talented roster, including quarterback Sam Howell, running back Brian Robinson Jr., and wide receiver Terry McLaurin.
The city of Washington, D.C., is rallying around the team
The Commanders have a rich history in Washington, D.C., and the city is rallying around the team once again. The team has a new stadium, FedExField, which is located in Landover, Maryland, and is one of the most technologically advanced stadiums in the NFL.
The Commanders are also a major economic driver for the Washington, D.C., area, generating millions of dollars in revenue each year.
