Football in Washington, D.C.


Football in Washington, D.C.

The Washington Redskins are one of professional football's most established and storied clubs, boasting five NFL championships. Valued at $1.6 billion , the team is the second most valuable franchise in the country. The team plays at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland. To get there, take the Blue Line Metro to the Morgan Blvd stop, then walk one mile straight up Morgan Blvd to the stadium. The team has survived movements and lawsuits trying to get rid of what some consider an offensive term for Native Americans. However, polls have found that the vast majority of American Indians do not find the team's name offensive. The Maryland Terrapins , representing the main campus of the University of Maryland, also has a large following in the area. The team plays just outside DC in College Park.
