Commanders fans are more enthusiastic than ever this year.
When the Washington Commanders meet the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC championship game on Sunday, there’s nothing like being at a crowded bar, cheering your team on with a cold one in hand. Sure, it could be loud but fun to many and in southern Fairfax County there’s plenty of spots to watch this landmark game.
Things start off at 1 p.m. on Sunday at the Verizon store in Springfield Plaza where they are having the “Commanders Official Verizon Pep Rally with mascot Major Teddy, the Commanders dance team and other legends.
