FedExField is a football
stadium located in Landover, Maryland, a community off of the Capital
Beltway (I-495) in Prince George's County near the site of the old
Capital Centre later called USAir Arena. It is the largest stadium in
the National Football League seating over 91,000. The stadium and its
site have both changed names since its construction. The stadium was
originally known as Jack Kent Cooke Stadium, in honor of the owner of
the Washington Redskins (who died four months before it opened), and the
stadium site was known as Raljon, Maryland. The name "Raljon" is a
portmanteau of Jack Kent Cooke's sons' first names - "Ralph" and "John."
Notably, Cooke was even able to register Raljon with the United States
Postal Service as a legal alternate address for the 20785 zip code of
Landover, Maryland in which the stadium is located, and went to some
lengths to require media to use Raljon in datelines from the stadium.
When Daniel Snyder bought the team and stadium from Cooke's estate in
1999, the site name reverted back to Landover, and the naming rights to
the stadium were sold.
