Dan Snyder has said plans for a new stadium for the Washington football team have begun. DJ Gallo responds:
Quote:
They remember how quiet it got when the team had the ball, and then how deafening it was when they scored. The ground beneath them seemed to move and shake, and they reached up to grab their father’s hand. The smiles of their faces … there in FedEx Field, are still with them every day.
That tradition at FedEx Field mattered so much to them as a child, and I know it matters to every other fan in the D.C. area and across the nation.
Your stadium isn’t just where the team plays – it’s who they are.
As you may know, the stadium began 17 years ago — in 1997 – with the name Jack Kent Cooke Stadium. Two years later, the stadium name was changed to FedEx Field. That inaugural FedEx Field team won the division and made the playoffs. It was, and continues to be, a badge of honor.
