Whats wrong with FedEx

i would have no problem if AOL had to give up maybe 10 of thier 40 or so seats in the club level, or booze allen or every car dealership in tysons, or..... you get my point i hope.

I do see your point but do you think that corporations will be the ones to lose or common folk like ourselves? Money talks my man.

Winning cures all

There are a couple of things wrong with Fed Ex:

1.) The reply screens stink - I can't wait till Dallas gets their stadium in place next year and Synder gets to see the 60 yard High Definition screens at their stadium - maybe than Synder will decide it is time to upgrade to match Dallas. Only problem is I don't know where you could place the screens with the stadium already packed to capacity with seats and we don't need any more "obstructed view seats" - the Dallas Stadium will have the screens hanging from the ceiling since it will be a dome.

2.) Lack of Metro accessibility - sorry but using the connector buses provided by Metro does not count. I went to the late night Baltimore preseason game this year and decided to watch football on the club level till the traffic died out - I did not end up leaving till about 12 midnight. The parking lot is a complete mess and gridlock is widespread across the stadium parking lot for hours. This was a preseason game mind you - I actually went to the NFC Championship against Detroit back at RFK - after the game everyone headed over to Metro and there crowd was cleared out in 30 minutes. Synder though loves the parking revenue so us Skins fans are stuck with the parking issues and traffic.

These are my only gripes. Prices will always be outrageous at the games - this is what tailgating is for. As far as casual fan vs. diehard - most NFL teams are becoming corporate events and there is not much we can do about it.

If I had my choice here is what I would like to happen as far as our stadium goes:

1.) Relocate in DC next to a Metro stop - this could be done as the land that RFK sits on was given to the DC governement by the Federal Government. They could simply tear down RFK and build the stadium on this site. In addition they would need to make improvements at the MEtro station which could be easily done. As far as the lease with the current Fed Ex field goes - this land is valuable and can be redeveloped so the State of MAryland can pay back the bonds that were issued to get the stadium built in the first place.

2.) Build a stadium similar to the new Cowboys stadium with comparable features - especially the reply screens and sound system. In addition make the roof retractable. I was back on forth on the roof thing as I know having an outdoor stadium gave the Skins a huge home field adavatnge with inclement weather back in the day - but I'd like to see us get a Superbowl and the only way this will happen is with a dome.

way to big RFK was the best. FEDEX is a dump. Takes 2 days to get in and out of the place.

I enjoyed RFK. And enjoy FedEx, the 100 & VERY LOW row 8 or below in the 200 level is nice IMO, club seating OK.

Not enough parking but thats life in the big city. Can't have it all!

fed-ex seats 92,000 fans and out of them maybe 65,000 are really dedicated fans, so it is kinda sad, RFK had 55,000 and only the true fans came, moving to fed-ex is a loss

BEST STADIUM IN THE LEAGUE TODAY! FOR US! Better luck on your 23rd try detroit, OR NOT.........

FedEx is far from a dump buddy, the place is rediculous as far as quality goes. However, even though RFK was and is a dump, it had that college atmosphere

I was very dispointed in the fans today. I was at the game and at least 35% of the seats were empty

Fed Ex is terrible. I get free tickets all the time through work and I refuse to go. It's just not the same as it used to be. It just seems fake with all the fireworks. Plus your not on top of the field. But a new stadium had to be built cause RFK is a shithole. I went to see the Nats a few weeks ago and it's just run down and beat up.

But it's a different era now and I honestly think that has something to do with it. Guys come and go all the time. It's just never going to be the same as it was in the 80's and early 90's. NFC East was at it's best then.

*** What an accurate quote. RFK is a shithole. but it was our shithole in a very sketchy area of DC. I loved coming off the green line at Stadium-Armory and seeing Native American rights protestors and the kids banging on bucket drum kits. But the reason the new stadium really sucks are:
1) Ticket prices
2) Corporate seating
3) Ticket brokers who buy too many tickets
4) Landover MARYLAND (There's a reason the Bullets/Caps left)
5) Transportation (Metro sucks with shuttle bus ride and parking cost more than a lapdance)
6) The fans
*RFK was always rocking and rolling, even when we sucked in the 80s and 90s (not often). Our fans are kinda weak now, kinda like the yuppie-dom that's going on in DC. But I'll take 3-1 over 1-3 at RFK anyday. Loving on JC.
