Dan Snyder was such a terrible owner for the Washington Commanders on and off the field that it’s almost impossible to fathom all the improvements they can make now that he’s gone. New owner Josh Harris is a lifelong fan of the team and will probably make more of an effort to help the organization by default.
You can see it already in how Washington plans to accommodate its fans during the start of this year’s training camp. On Monday, the Commanders unveiled their brand new bleachers — meaning, seating — for fans coming to training camp in Ashburn, Virginia.
Dearest reader that is not a misprint. The bleachers are new because the Commanders haven’t provided this kind of seating for their fans in camp in over two decades. Snyder was such a malcontent he barely cared about keeping his franchise’s loyal supporters comfortable when they actually came to watch the team during the summer.
Just take a gander at this copy from June 12 via the team’s public relations department:
“Commanders Training Camp will have a new look this season with a 2,000-seat bleacher viewing area constructed on the practice fields to accommodate fans from across the region. Fans also are welcome to bring blankets and lawn chairs to set up adjacent to the practice fields as in years past.”
Don’t you just love how seats for fans are treated as this grand revelation? Frankly, talking about fans finally having the ability to get comfortable might be even funnier.
In case there was any doubt — I do not know why there would be — the bar Snyder left behind as Washington’s owner is three inches tall, at best. When seats and tangible fan comfort are a massive development, it’ll take no time sanding over what little he accomplished.
