Sights and sounds from a big day for the Commanders

The last two days will likely go down as two of the most important in the history of the Washington NFL franchise. On Thursday, the NFL approved Josh Harris as the Commanders new owner. Local establishments celebrated the ownership change, and Harris even called in to buy beer for every fan in attendance at one event.

Harris and some of his ownership partners, including local businessman and philanthropist Mitchell Rales and NBA legend Magic Johnson, met with the media on Friday.

After Friday’s press conference, the new owners attended the team’s training camp pep rally at FedEx Field. Harris and Johnson spoke, as did legendary coach Joe Gibbs.

It was a monumental day for the Washington Commanders.

We’ve pulled together some of the top tweets from Friday’s event.
