Jayden Daniels spent part of Saturday at Commanders Field

Jayden Daniels was at Commanders Field for a U.S. men’s soccer game vs. Colombia.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels will throw out the ceremonial first pitch for the Washington Nationals game against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday at Nationals Park.

But before Sunday’s first pitch, Daniels was elsewhere in DMV, making his first public appearance on the field where he will play his home games for the Commanders this fall.

The United States men’s soccer team played Colombia on Saturday at Commanders Field, the former FedEx Field, where Daniels was on the sidelines.

Here is a look at Daniels on the sideline, who appears to be having a good time in the first picture and talking to U.S. men’s soccer coach Gregg Berhalter in the second photo.

The U.S. men lost the game 5-1, but the Daniels’ photo was a popular one with over 1,000 likes and counting on X.

Daniels will be back in action in the District on Sunday and in Ashburn this week for the team’s mandatory minicamp

How safe is Commanders Field for fans compared to the rest of the NFL?

We’ve found a category where Washington’s stadium isn’t ranked last.

The Washington Commanders’ stadium has a new name in 2024. FedEx Field is no longer. Unfortunately, the Commanders will remain at their Landover stadium for at least the next three seasons.

The former FedEx Field is now Commanders Field.

FedEx Field has been anything but a home-field advantage for Washington over the years. The team stunk, and fans hated the owner and finally stopped coming, often selling their tickets to fans of other teams.

Then there are the issues — oh, so many issues. From the railing collapse in  the 2021 season to the water issues to all of the injuries to prominent players, Washington’s home stadium has been anything but pleasant. In most stadium rankings or polls, FedEx Field finishes last.

We’ve finally found a ranking where Commanders Field isn’t dead last.

According to BetMassachusetts, Washington’s home stadium is tied at No. 20 for the NFL’s safest stadium.

The rankings are broken down into four categories, and we will show you where Commanders Field ranks in each:

  • Violent Crime: 48.71 (21st)
  • Total Crime Index: 3 (T-18th)
  • Fan Behavior Rank: 17
  • Crime Grade: D- (T-12th)

Who had the safest stadium? The New England Patriots.

Who was last? The Detroit Lions.

As for Washington’s NFC East rivals: The Giants ranked fourth, the Cowboys were sixth and the Eagles 19th.

Can the Commanders, with new head coach Dan Quinn and quarterback Jayden Daniels, have a home-field advantage again?
