Anyone been to a Redskins game at Dallas?

My dear friend, former-college-house-mate, and fellow Skins fanatic wants to have his bachelor party in Dallas (we both currently live in Los Angeles). The reason he requested this venue is because he wants the festivities to coincide with a game in enemy territory. What should I expect? I've seen the Skins in Arizona, San Diego and San Francisco (i.e the least-threatening stadiums in the world) and I don't know what to expect. I wouldn't go out of my way to start shit but I would most definitely fly my colors.

I've been to a couple of them, no big deal.. A couple of the guys that I go on a football trip on each year are Cowboy fans. The worst one I saw there is detailed here from the Washington Post:

Nov. 16, 1997
At Texas Stadium
L, 17-14
The Redskins were in total control for the first 55 minutes of a game they absolutely had to win when the Cowboys jump-started another miraculous comeback. With Dallas backed up on their 3-yard line with 5:48 left, quarterback Troy Aikman engineered a 97-yard touchdown drive, plus a two-point conversion, to pull the Cowboys even at 14-14. A devastating three-and-out on the Redskins' next possession precipitated a dismal 28-yard punt by Matt Turk, which gave the Cowboys prime field position. Twenty-eight yards later, Richie Cunningham booted a 42-yard field goal with four seconds remaining to give the Cowboys another unlikely win. The loss was symbolic of the maddening disasters that befell the Redskins during the Norv Turner era, and they would finish out of the playoffs once again that season.

cowboy fans are front runners.depending on the records at the time,the stadium could be half empty.i dont think you will have any problems wearing the burgendy and gold

Never been.
This year's @ Dallas game will be huge though. Week 2 Sunday night national game. I wouldn't be afraid to wear colors to the game. Not like Philly where you got toothless drunks drying to hit ya with a crowbar or something. Dallas fans are honestly for the most part rational nice skewed people. Unfortunately places like Philly people can't differienciate between reality and pro sports. Too bad they were pathetic last season. And will be again for the next 3 seasons!!! GO TO THE GAME and get on TV in Redskins colors!!! Joe Gibbs gets Gatorade bath #2!!!!

I have been to a few. No big problems. I always wore my stuff. Be prepared for a lot of anti-skin BS. Just the usual thing. You won't get attacked or anything!

Then how the hell did they get to be Dallas fans?

Then how the hell did they get to be Dallas fans?

I would assume that the skewed part, like cult members. Good people, just a little confused.


p.s. I have it on good authority that dallas fans actually aren't 'good people'

I was at that game as well and it was a real kick in the teeth. Aikman is the most accurate quarterback I ever saw. Also attended in 1999 and 2000 so all three trips were losses.
Cowboys fans at Texas Stadium are pretty laid back (excepting the odd drunk, often a female) and generally keep all the taunting fairly good-natured. Of course, they were beating us with frightening regularity in those days so that may have served to keep them calmer. In addition, all aspects of culture are less civilized today than they were even a few years ago so maybe you should go and then tell US what it's like.

The ultimate example of how ruthless (and classless, I might add) the Philly fans are is how they treated one of their own players, Donovan McNabb, when the team drafted him.

They were upset that the team didn't go after Ricky Williams. Looking back, it's too bad they didn't have a chance at Tim Couch.

The best way to shut up the occassional odd-drunk female is a little good ol' domestic violence. Wolfpack style.
