Why track Northwest Stadium attendance?
If your stub says Jack Kent Cooke Stadium, FedExField, or Commanders Field, that is this same Landover building under an earlier printed name — not a different stadium. Northwest Stadium is the later name. Commanders nights belong on the Washington Commanders game tracker. An RFK Stadium stub is a different ground. This page holds the building those four names share.
An older ticket may still say Jack Kent Cooke Stadium, FedExField, or Commanders Field. Ticket Timeline matches those printed names to the games you actually attended in this Landover building.
- Log Commanders home games you personally attended—not today's crowd count or a live scoreboard.
- Match tickets printed Jack Kent Cooke Stadium, FedExField, or Commanders Field to this same venue.
- Keep RFK Stadium and Griffith Stadium stubs on those earlier grounds—not mixed in as Northwest Stadium.
- Count this building toward your wider NFL stadium progress across every building you've visited.
- Import old stubs, spreadsheets, or Gmail confirmations instead of retyping every date.
