I guess I was thinking sold out every year and 96,000+, should make this list. I know the Skins have not always been winners, but that should not really factor in too much. I just laugh at how the media just continues to ignore that D.C. is even in the NFL world.

ooops, LOUD!!
It's OK. Don't correct yourself. You had us at load.
I have heard from unbiased sources that FEDEX is a tough place to play and opposing players are intimidated from the huge size and VOLUME. I have also heard that playing the Seahawks is a piece of cake as far stadium. very light and polite crowd noise.

If you have a loosing record how can we say its a tough place to play. I know things are turning around but we still have to face the fact that we have lost more games at Fedex than we have won. The skins are sold out for ever but that does not make it a tough place to play. Someone comment that he heard that players were intimidated by the size and all the fans which could be true, but now we need to have them intimidated by our team. The time has come and I don't think teams are looking forward to playing in Fedex the way they may have in years past.

I would agree!

Maybe the tough factor has something to do with the team on the field and until last season the skins were not exactly world beaters at fedex and the raiders have been nothing special for awhile now.

We won't make that list (and probably don't deserve to) until we revive the vibe of RFK, stop having so many fans of other teams come to FedEx and make sure we hold on to fourth-quarter leads against pretenders such as the Chargers.

When we bring it as fans...there is NO harder place to play in the game....see: Bears, Chicago. It could be argued that the fans basically won that game for the Skins' with the 3 false start penalties...
But we don't bring it every week. We were awsome last season for the most part, but other than that, we were only good for a number of games in 2004. We still have some work to do, but if we keep up the way we were last year, there wont be a questoin.

Fed Ex will be on the top ten list in a year or two I think. Just as soon as we come out with all those offensive weapons and run up the score on a few other teams

Cleveland isn't on there, huh? In my book, any place where the fans throw beer bottles at the officials as they exit the field has to be on any such list, otherwise, it's flawed.
And Green Bay? Come on, the mystique with that team is done. Their team stinks, and will be worse once that media darling Brett Farve is gone. Good riddance, I say.
