Dale McCord

Dale McCord has had Washington season tickets in his family since his grandpa first purchased them in 1981. He loves nothing more than tailgating and sharing his passion for the team with others. As a member of the deaf community, he strives to provide a more inclusive environment for Washington's fan base. In 2017, Dale was inducted into the Pro Football Ultimate Fan Association, becoming the first deaf member. Through this organization, he works to promote fellowship with all fan bases and support charitable organizations, like facilitating the inclusion of deaf and hard-of-hearing children at the Kids Tailgate Party held during Hall of Fame weekend. Dale has also served as a fan captain for the Commanders, working to provide closed captioning in the stadium and sign language interpreting during the National Anthem for the deaf and hard-of-hearing fans. Dale constantly spreads his love of the Commanders and has proven to be a quiet leader in promoting camaraderie with opposing teams, always accepting everyone with open arms.
