Avocet Tower lights up with Washington Commanders colors ahead of NFC title game


The Washington Commanders will face the Philadelphia Eagles in a challenging but eminently-winnable National Football Conference Championship game this afternoon at 3:00 PM. Avocet Tower at 7373 Wisconsin Avenue in Bethesda was "ahead of the game" last night, when it made its best effort to ape Washington's burgundy-and-gold colors. The accent lighting can be customized within a limited color palette, and has been tweaked to do everything from celebrating Christmas, to showing solidarity with Ukraine. One question remains ahead of today's coin toss: Is Avocet Tower visible from Dan Snyder's yacht?

Maintenance needs to change it up to GREEN now since Philly is only 2 hours up the road! #FlyEaglesFly

4:59 - No, they don't. This is Redskins country. Philly is and always will be a rival. Having said that, I want Eagles over the Chiefs. By the way, how does Philly get to keep their name and we have to have a generic, meaningless, PC one? Even native American tribes are pleasding with Josh Harris to change it back. RFK site will be the new and proper home of Washington's team. That would be a good time to call them what they are, the Washington Redskins.

All due respect... From your previous posting history, but Dallas is THE rival & always has been, besides, I'm a Ravens fan now because I live IN Maryland.

12:14 - Of course and it should return to a Cowboys and Indians rival. No one is offended chief among them, the Indians themselves. See what I did there? Eagles have always been a rival as well. I like the Ravens as too. That's a great franchise. Washington will never return to their glory if they don't return that great name.
