Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In which of these suburbs could you have found FedEx Field, originally known as Jack Kent Cooke Stadium, which in 1997 became home to the mighty Washington Redskins?

Answer: Landover, Maryland

For over 20 years, the Redskins donned their burgundy and gold uniforms to play their home games at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland. Washington D.C. has suburbs in both Virginia and Maryland.

2. At the turn of the 21st century, the New York Giants actually played in East Rutherford, New Jersey, which was considered an outer-ring suburb of which city?

Answer: New York City, New York

Many large cities have suburbs that do not lie in the same state as the city itself. East Rutherford is considered just one of the many suburbs of New York City. It became the home to the New Meadowlands Stadium where the New York Giants struck fear into their opponents during their gridiron wars.

They moved to Arizona in 1988 and played their games at Arizona State University's Sun Devil Stadium, which was also a suburb of Phoenix before they moved in 2006 to Glendale.
