The Commanders were last in the league in attendance last season, averaging more than 51,000 fans per game.

They have new ownership following the forced sale by Dan Snyder.

They also announced $40 million in upgrades for the stadium.

There will certainly be extra energy in FedEx Field in the first game of a new season with new ownership.
