13 Days of Summer: Time for Monday Night Football

Monday Night Football as a summer pastime? It is in D.C. Today, Monday, Sept. 9, you can see the Washington Redskins kickoff the season by hosting the Philadelphia Eagles.

The last day of summer is Sept. 21. Or, you can look at it this way: The first day of fall is Sept. 22. Patch has found something for you to do each day as we count down until summer passes us by.

Check our events calendar to see what’s happening in our community, and add your own events!

Kickoff tonight is at 7 p.m. See details on FedEx Field. Get Washington Redskins tickets.

The last time FedEx Field hosted the popular game, in December, it was an unseasonable 71 degrees in the District. The forecast for tonight is the mid to upper 60s.

If you miss tonight’s game, Washington will face the San Francisco 49ers for Monday Night Football on Nov. 25.
