I am sure they are Locked into FedEx field for a long time,I doubt they will be going anywhere for a while...on the other hand it would be nice to move the stadium back.

The Redskins are cursed at Fedex. They need to move back to RFK.

The stadium is so big and expensive, we'd lose revenue by downgrading.

the rumors i've heard has rfk being torn down and snyder building a new stadium on that site, possibly a dome stadium so a superbowl could be played there.

I actually read that the land in pg county where fed ex field is very valuable and that it could be torn down for strip malls and shopping and snyder would do just fine.

I myself never had the privilege of attending a Redskins game at RFK. I have seen old films of how the stadium would shake. But videos just don't do justice to it, I really wish I could have been there. Sadly I was born a few years too late. As for the Skins moving back, I don't think it's going to happen. At least not for the next 5-10 years. I'm sure Danny payed a lot to get that stadium built and I don't think he's just going to give it up after 10 years.

Just a slight correction. Jack Kent Cooke built the stadium, Snyder purchased it along with the team.

I'm sure Danny payed a lot to get that stadium built and I don't think he's just going to give it up after 10 years.I've seen many games at both RFK and FedEx, and without question, RFK was louder with 55,000 fans than FedEx is with 90,000. Probably has more to do with the curved top of RFK than anything. As lucrative as the Skins have been for Snyder, I can definitely see him building a new stadium where RFK stands. One of his big dreams has been to bring a Super Bowl to DC, and I've heard rumors that he would like to build a new stadium with a retractable roof to help make the dream reality. Lastly, Snyder didn't build FedEx field, Jack Kent Cooke did. Snyder made improvements after calling the stadium "a fixer upper", so I don't think he feels overly attached to FedEx.
