The Washington Redskins played their first game at Jack Kent Cooke Stadium on September 14, 1997. With 80,116 seats, Jack Kent Cooke Stadium became the largest stadium in the NFL. In 1999, Daniel Snyder bought the Redskins who sold the naming rights to Federal Express, and Jack Kent Cooke Stadium was renamed FedEx Field. FedEx Field was expanded again before the 2004 season when the seating capacity increased from 86,000 to over 91,000. FedEx Field has many amenities including several restaurants that overlook the field and a Redskins Hall of Fame. Displayed on the upper level balcony, circling the seating bowl, is the Redskins Ring of Fame that contains 40 names of Redskins players and coaches. Located above the north endzone are championship flags that commemorate the Redskins playoff history. « hide
