Washington Post Today ~ Empty Seats Irk Arrington

F that!! Maybe he looked up at 7pm while 50000 people were still in that CF of a parking lot situation! He should blame Danny boy for his Parking Permits and $25 cash parking lots which are a 1 hour shuttle ride away from the game! I live in NJ and left at 12 noon and did not get in my seat until after 8pm when the score was already 24-0. I arrived at the beltway ecit in time for the game then had to sit on a shuttle that sat in traffic for an hour. If you are going to use shuttles then you have to find a way fro them to get to the stadium with being stuck in traffic. Rediculous...but Danny doesn't care if the seats are full at game time just as long as they are payed for.

I don't see any arrogance with his comments, he wants a full house that's rocking and a tough place for vistors to come in to.

He does have some basis for his comments and it goes beyond crabbing about a preseason game. Everytime they show a crowd shot on TV and the gold section is practically empty I just shake my head, so I can see where Arrington is coming from.

I'll never understand why people pay for a seat then spend the entire game inside. Why not stay home and save the $$??

We need some players to speak out and say stuff like that. The redskins havent had home field advantage since the new stadium was built, imo. Ive been to almost all the games and there are very few times when it was really loud in there. This year is going to be different, I cant wait to get out to the games and lose my voice screaming for my team!!

Right on, Lavar!!! We've got the biggest stadium in the NFL. Other teams should fear to play there.

Hey Laavar has only dealt with this for 5 years. I've put up with this since Gibbs left 12 years ago. FEDEX will never be anther RFK. To big and not partially enclosed. The sound just doesnt' resonate in there. I am always loud and so have been most of the regulars. But expecting 92,000 on a Friday of Labor Day weekend, no way. I suspect that this will be a full house like every other openning day. But will be a bit louder due to the Gibbs factor. I just don't agree with Arrington about preseason games and him being irked at the turn out. Star player or not I will call them out as I see it. I do wear a Arrington jersey to the game and stand directly behind the team as they warm up before every game. I am the loudest down by the sidelines before the game and have called Snyder out on many occasions. I pay, I speak, I yell, and I cheer. If he is irked for lack of fan support for 1 game then I am irked at the crap I have put up with for 12 years.

I think the two preseason games this summer were just bad timing. The first one against Carolina we were expecting hurricane Charley and the second one last week was at 7 p.m. on a Friday before Labor Day. I have full confidence that Fed Ex will be packed and loud on Sunday. I can understand Lavar but in the fans' defense there have been plenty of big games the last 6 or 7 years that the fans have brought it as the 12th man and been ready to go and the Redskins have just plain flopped and looked unmotivated (I'm thinking of a lot of Dallas games). So they owe us a few in my opinion.

A lot of the "fans" can't get tickets, the WP owns em all =p

Did you see the VT-USC game last week??

FedEx can be loud, it's the fans that are the problem, not the stadium.
