Menu item at the Princess Restaurant in Frostburg, Md., conceived in 2000 after the Washington Redskins
broke their training-camp lease with the local
college. Jack Kent Cooke and
Maryland lawmakers had worked out a 10-year, $331,000-per-year deal, designed to bring tourist dollars to western Maryland, as part of the agreement that brought the Redskins to Prince George’s County. Shortly after buying the team, Redskins Owner Dan Snyder defaulted on the deal so he could hold training camp at Redskins Park, where he charged $10 admission and $10 parking. In 2001, Snyder paid the school $750,000 to settle the matter. The school used the
money to establish an endowment named for Cooke.
