GOOD NEWS: Josh Harris and his ownership group have announced a $5 ticket day at Commanders Field, giving thousands of low-income families the chance to see the Washington Commanders live for the first time… Fans are calling it the most generous gesture in the team’s modern history!
In a surprising and heart-warming announcement, Washington Commanders owner Josh Harris and his ownership partners have officially unveiled a $5 ticket day at Commanders Field — a move that fans are already calling
The special event is designed to give low-income families a rare chance to attend an NFL game at a price that’s almost unheard of in today’s professional sports landscape. For thousands across the DMV (D.C.–Maryland–Virginia), this may be their first chance to feel the electricity, atmosphere, and emotion of a live Commanders home game.
Josh Harris explained the motivation behind the initiative in a team statement:
“We want Commanders Field to belong to everyone in this community. Football is for all of us, not just those who can afford premium prices. This is about giving every family a seat at the table.”
Within minutes of the announcement, social media erupted. Fans flooded X (formerly Twitter) with emotional reactions, calling the decision “historic,” “unbelievable,” and “a moment that restores faith.” One long-time supporter wrote:
“I’ve been a Commanders fan since I was 10. Never been able to afford a game — until now. I’m taking my kids. I’m honestly emotional.”
Analysts across the NFL world praised the move, noting its impact beyond sports. One national commentator remarked:
“This is the type of leadership the league needs — an ownership group genuinely connected to its community.”
In addition to the $5 entry price, the Commanders are expected to partner with local organizations to provide discounted transportation, affordable meal options, and expanded family-friendly areas throughout the stadium. These added features reinforce the spirit of the event — transforming game day into a true celebration for the entire Washington region.
Experts predict tickets will sell out within minutes, with many believing it could create one of the most energized and emotional atmospheres ever seen at Commanders Field.
With this bold gesture, Josh Harris and his group aren’t just giving back — they’re redefining what modern NFL ownership can look like. Their initiative positions the Washington Commanders as a franchise committed to unity, accessibility, and rebuilding a culture rooted in community pride.
Drew Brees could play a unique role in the Saints beating the rival Falcons in Week 12 without even taking a snap for New Orleans
The New Orleans Saints are well rested after their bye week, but there is plenty of work left to be done this season. Kellen Moore's team won their last game, led by Tyler Shough. Now, they will try to fend off an Atlanta Falcons team that is struggling and may be without their starting quarterback in Week 12.
For a game filled with plenty of emotion, that piece of the puzzle may only get turned up even further. Drew Brees has made his return to announcing NFL games, and it sounds like he may call this Saints-Falcons battle this weekend.
Drew Brees set to call Saints-Falcons matchup for FOX in Week 12
The former Saints QB is an option to be on call for the rivalry matchup after returning to the booth during the Saints' bye week. Brees was met with mixed reviews during his Week 11 performance for the New York Giants-Green Bay Packers game, but he deserves plenty of time to find his football and improve as a broadcaster. Would be a great opportunity for both Brees and Saints fans.
According to Crescent City Sports, Brees will reportedly be in the booth for New Orleans' Nov. 23 game against the Falcons in the Caesars Superdome. That will be finalized and confirmed on Wednesday when the FOX broadcast map is released online. Brees is set to announce alongside Adam Amin, his expected duo for the foreseeable future. Kristina Pink will handle the sideline reporting duties for FOX in those games with them.
With New Orleans as their quarterback, Brees went 16-9 against Atlanta. There were plenty of high-scoring matchups in the series with him as the Saints starter.
Overall in his career, Brees was 19-10 versus the Falcons. Brees totaled a passer rating of 97.1 with 8,695 yards, 54 touchdowns, and 27 interceptions in those matchups.
Now, he will look to bring the Saints a bit of good luck as he continues this new era of his football career. He is surely excited to get another chance in the booth after his first attempt was cut far too short. Make sure to check out the broadcast during this game and give him a listen for a bit of nostalgia.
