The Washington Redskins are a professional American football team based in the Washington, D.C. area. The team plays at FedExField in Landover, Maryland, which is in Prince George's County, Maryland. The team’s headquarters and training facility are at Redskin Park in Ashburn, Virginia, a community in Loudoun County, Virginia, near Dulles International Airport. They are members of the Eastern Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL).

According to Forbes Magazine, the Redskins are the second most valuable franchise in the NFL, valued at approximately $1.538 billion, having in 2008 been surpassed by their rivals the Dallas Cowboys.[1] In 2007 they generated over $300 million in revenue and netted over $60 million. They have also broken the NFL's mark for single-season attendance eight years in a row.[2]

Overall, the Redskins have played for eleven NFL Championships and have won five, including three of the five Super Bowls in which they have played. Four of the five Super Bowl appearances were under the leadership of Hall of Fame coach Joe Gibbs.

The Redskins are one of only two teams in the NFL with an official marching band. The other is the Baltimore Ravens.[3] The Redskins were also one of the first teams to have a fight song, “Hail to the Redskins.” Contents [hide] 1 Franchise history 1.1 In Boston 1.2 The Baugh Era 1.3 Integration and front-office 1.4 Revival 1.5 Snyder era 1.5.1 1997 1.5.2 1999 1.5.3 2000-2003 1.5.4 2004 1.5.5 2005 1.5.6 2006 2 Logo and uniforms 2.1 Accusations of Insensitivity 3 Season-by-season records 4 Record vs. opponents 5 Players of note 5.1 Current roster 5.2 Pro Football
