Washington Commanders owner Josh Harris replaced Daniel Snyder with the vision of changing everything to usher in a new era, including a new name for the stadium.
Positive steps have already been taken to improve the on-field product, and now the name on the stadium, which was previously FedExField, has finally gotten an answer.
This week, the Commanders signed a multiyear naming rights agreement with Northwest Federal Credit Union for the team’s stadium.
According to ESPN‘s Adam Schefter, the new agreement for the team does not include any options for a potential new stadium.
The deal is also for eight years and does not preclude Washington from opening a new stadium sooner than the expiration of this deal.
Northwest Stadium will officially usher in its new era on September 15th when the Washington Commanders take on the New York Giants.
The Washington Post further added that the new deal exceeds the average annual value of its previous deal with the shipping giant FedEx, which was roughly $7.5 million a year.
The report further added that Northwest has already gotten signage up around the Commanders stadium as part of a separate multiyear sponsorship deal it signed with the team last September.
The new deal runs through the 2031-32 season.
Many fans were quick to point out the confusion that may ensue, as the team is actually situated in the northeast.
FedExField Ends Naming Rights Agreement With Washington Commanders Stadium
Washington Commanders stadium had been called FedExField since 1999, but that changed earlier this year.
FedEx pulled out of the naming rights agreement two years early as it wasn’t set to end until 2026.
