Washington Commandos The Washington Commandos were an arena football team based in Fairfax, Virginia . The Commandos were founded in 1987 and were an inaugural member of the Arena Football League , and were based in Landover, Maryland . After not playing during the 1988 season , the team returned for the 1989 season as the Maryland Commandos . Following the 1989 season , the Commandos moved to Fairfax, Virginia, where they once again became known as the Washington Commandos. The team never achieved much success at either of its locations, winning a total of four games in three seasons , including a winless 1989 season.History Inaugural season (1987) The Commandos had the honor of playing in the first AFL regular season game on June 19 , 1987, losing to the Pittsburgh Gladiators 48–46 at the Civic Arena . The Commandos picked up their first win in franchise history the following week, when they defeated the Denver Dynamite , by a score of 36–20 in their home opener. The Commandos finished the season with a 2–4 record, a disappointment, but the team was in every game except one, losing three games by a total of six points.Move to Maryland (1989) After a one-year hiatus, the Commandos returned to play in 1989 and operated as the "Maryland Commandos", playing their sole home game that year at the same venue as in 1987, Landover's Capital Centre . The team went 0–4 in the abbreviated 'travelin' season of 1989. The Commandos coaching staff consisted of Ray Willsey , Mike Hohensee , Mike Dailey , and Jerry Kurz . Hohensee, Dailey and Kurz would all go on to become members of the Arena Football Hall of Fame .Return to Washington (1990) The team returned to the Washington name for their final season in 1990 . They were coached by Hohensee, who had been promoted from his assistant position. The Commandos started the season 0–3. In 1987 and 1989, the team played its home games at the Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland. For the 1990 season, the team was based at the Patriot Center on the campus of George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.In 1999 , Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder announced that he would bring an expansion team to DC to be called the Washington Warriors. But after a ten-year wait and the AFL's canceling its season in 2009, that never materialized. In 2016, it was announced that Ted Leonsis of Monumental Sports, owner of the NBA's Washington Wizards , WNBA's Washington Mystics and the NHL's Washington Capitals was launching an expansion franchise that would play at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. in 2017. The Washington Valor began play in 2017.Notable players Final roster The following Commandos players were named to All-Arena Teams:Season-by-season results
