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.

The stadium has five levels - the Lower Level, the Club Level, the Lower and Upper Suite Levels, and the Upper Level. The Lower, Club, and Upper Levels are all named after important figures of the Redskins, NFL, and Washington, D.C. area. The Lower Level is officially named "George Preston Marshall Lower Level", The Club is named "Joe Gibbs Club Level, and The Upper Level is called "Pete Rozelle Upper Level." The Suite Levels have over 200 suite, loge, and Owner's Club luxury boxes.

FedEx is the home of the Washington Redskins football team. The stadium opened in 1997 as Jack Kent Cooke Stadium, in honor of the recently-deceased owner of the team. After the team and stadium were purchased by Daniel Snyder, the naming rights were sold to the FedEx corporation in November 1999 for an average of $7.6 million per year. FedExField replaced Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium in Washington as the home of the Redskins. FedExField has not had a football season in which the stadium failed to sell out its tickets. Even though it's the NFL's largest stadium, the waiting list for Redskins season tickets has reached 10 years. FedExField hosts the annual Prince George's Classic college football game, which is a game usually between two historically black universities. It has hosted several other college football games as well, including the 1998 game between the University of Notre Dame and the United States Naval Academy, as well as the 2004 Black Coaches Association Classic between the University of Southern California and Virginia Tech. The stadium has hosted numerous other events as well, including many big-time concerts.
