Redskins to Restrict Large Tailgate Parties

I've only gone to a handful of games at FedEx and the experience I think has gotten better over the years, but it's never been great.

On the other hand, going to a Ravens game is a great experience...except for the fact it's the Ravens

If Im reading this correct you can still tailgate, you just cant take up multiple spots. IE grill behind your vehicle instead of next to it. I don't see the big deal, you want to have a huge party, you'll walk a bit longer.

Personally, I'd much rather watch a game on TV than go anymore. Unless it's a special atmosphere game (2005 Cowboys Game was crazy!)

Ravens' home games are more fun than Skins' home games from the perspective of "game day experience".


One of the absolute best NFL stadium experiences is to get invited to one of the top-shelf luxury boxes in Philly at the Linc. You do NOT want to be in the parking lots among all of the mouthbreathers who are tailgating there, but once you get to the premier luxury boxes at the Linc, you are in a very good place...

2. ...SEVENTEEN YEARS and five months. Or January 12, 1992 to be exact, championship game - Redskins 41, Lions 10. Yeah I was at this game.

This is incorrect. The last time they won the division, in 1999, they hosted a game in the Wild Card round and beat the Lions 27-13 at home.

So long as you're rooting for the Ravens, otherwise a lot of the fans there are a$$holes! I've seen them act like jerks to Browns fans and I experienced during the Sunday Night game last year. What's worse: I don't think the a$$hole Baltimore fan is the minority.

I actually know a lot of them (from living in B-More) and I had a Ravens fan tell me, before last season, "Joe Flacco can die in a car fire for all I care, he hasn't proven anything, it's all about Troy Smith, F*@K FLACCO!" Immediately after saying that every Ravens fan at the party cheered. Come the middle of the season when I was saying, "I told you he would be good." They all claimed he had earned his stripes and was the "new Troy Smith." True Story.

There are idiotic fans everywhere - - not just in Baltimore.

Recall I said that going to the luxury suites at the Linc was a great experience; we need not contemplate the rationality and the sobriety of a large number of Philly fans in the same stadium.

Service: Escalators that don't work, lines everywhere. Pat down searches to make sure you don't smuggle in peanuts.


I cant believe people are so upset about this news. They arent doing away with tailgating, they are just moving it to the back of the lots to minimize the congestion. Its pretty annoying to get into the lots to see every-other-spot taken up by a group of drunks. Just move to the back, do your thing and have a good time. Most of you guys could use the extra 50 yard walk anyway.

AND.............what stadium are you going to? Ive never seen the escalators broken, and the searches are for guns.....not peanuts. Wake up!

Oh, I'm well aware of that. I'm just saying that I'm not actually sure how Baltimore fans have escaped a bad rep. I had beer bottles thrown at me on the club level at the Ravens-Skins game last year. It was more than just a select few is all I'm trying to say.

:laughing- I agree. Nice post.

It does seem to be a little ridiculous that premium spots are taken up like this. Makes sense to have a designated area for tailgating.
